G4560 vs G5400 build

[raygg.lol]

I finally came to my final conclusion for the best outcome from my $350-355 budget gaming PC build. But in the end, I'm still dilemmatic between these two final builds:

1st Build:
Pentium G4560 @$49
ASrock B150M Pro 4 @27 (Used, good condition, warranty on)
8GB DDR4 @47
Sapphire RX 560 2GB @87 (Used, good condition, warranty on)
Kingston A400 240GB @52
Be Quiet System Power U9 400w @44
Case @33
TOTAL: $339

2nd Build:
Pentium G5400 @$57
ASrock H310M HDV-M2 @57
8GB DDR4 @47
Sapphire RX 560 2GB @87 (Used, good condition, warranty on)
Kingston A400 120GB @29
Be Quiet System Power U9 400w @44
Case @33
TOTAL: $354

Why did I consider the G5400 although the performance difference between G4560 and G5400 is barely noticeable? It's because I want to upgrade my CPU to i5 8400 / i7 8700 in the future without changing my mobo.

- My maximum budget is $355
- I live in Indonesia (Hardware prices are ridiculous here)
- My monitor is at 768p, I'm planning to buy a Free Sync monitor in the future, that's why I only include AMD GPU
- Nvidia GPUs' prices are way higher than AMD's RX series
- My plan is to play E-Sport titles, recording, and light editing.

Which build has the best value? Or maybe you have a suggestion to modify my G4560 build to reach the $355 price point. Sorry for my bad English.

Clearly the G5400/H310 is a better value, since it has the upgrade path to the i5 8400 6 core, or possibly the upcoming 9700 8 core. The most the b150 will see is a 7700 4 core 8 thread. The 120GB SSD is slim, but can be managed.

Either is an entry level build.
If you want to upgrade in the future, use the 300 series motherboard.
I think you answered your own question there.

Do not exclude nvidia from the graphics equation.
Nvidia fast sync does a good job of frame pacing and lag reduction .
Today, a comparable nvidia card will need some 75w less on the psu.

Another option to consider is to omit the discrete graphics card initially if budget is an issue.
HD610 will play some games ok. Trying that out first will give you a better idea of how strong your graphics card needs to be

Should I consider RX 460? In my place, there's an RX 460 priced at $74 and RX 560 is $87

Yes,,

RX460 and RX560 are in the same performance tier on tom's gpu hierarchy list:

Sorry for a late reply. By they way, should I get an used 240GB Crucial BX200 for $44 instead of a new 120GB Kingston A400? According to the seller, the 240GB Crucial BX200 has been used for 1.5 month. Or maybe should I get the 240GB version of Kingston A400 for $52? I could save some money if it's worth it

1.5 months of usage will not have used up any measurable portion of the lifespan.
You could go there unless there was a problem with the unit.

Regardless, I would go for 240gb.
There are many things that need to go on the C drive and it can get filled up quickly.

Know your seller.
If the used price vs. new is good, and you have a limited budget, go for it.
The larger the ssd, the less likely that you will ever run out of updates.
