This is my first build.
I want a pc that can game and is also good for work.
I need it as cheap as possible!
Ryzen 3 2200g (89.00)+ b450 motherboard (65.00) + integrated graphics
Or ryzen 5 1400 for (100) + 1050ti (150) + a320 (50)

Is the second option better???
Is the second option worth it?
 
Solution
Cheap as possible: 2200g, motherboard, 2 sticks of 2933 or faster 4gb DDR4 ram, use integrated graphics and game at 720p. You will only have 6gb ram usable by the system, since 2gb will go towards the integrated graphics. So some games will be choppy or unplayable.

A 1200 or 1400 plus a videocard such as a GTX 1050 or 1050 Ti would be far better and allow some gaming at 1080p. You'll still need the 2 sticks of 4gb ram at least but it doesn't have to be fast ram if you use a videocard.

"Worth it" depends on what games you hope to play and what kind of performance you hope to get. CSGO is one thing, Assassin's Creed Odyssey is another.

Don't forget to budget RAM.

Any dedicated GPU from the one you selected, up, will work better than the integrated graphics on that first Ryzen chip. TBH, I would probably look into a 570 card rather than the 1050ti, as they perform better. They are more power hungry as well.
Look into a "B" chipset so you can OC a little if you can swing it.

Oof, I will get 8GB Ram at 3000mhz dual for £52.00
So the R 1400 + 1050ti is a lot better.
Is it worth the extra £140
I'm trying to keep it as low as possible.
Also I will be mostly playing old games like COD: mw3 and will occasionally play newer ones.
What do you guys think now if i get the ryzen 2200g?

You're right...
As of right now i have:

  • -EVGA 500W 80 Plus PSU
    -240GB M.2 SSD
And I will most likely get a B450 motherboard
And 2 x 4 GB 3000Mhz RAM

The newer games I will most likely play are Overwatch, Rainbow 6 Siege and other popular titles like CS:GO, Fortnite...
I watched gameplay footage using the ryzen 3 2200g and they were pretty good.

Now can someone answer my question
:)
 
AMD Ryzen 3 2200G and a 1050Ti is good, the Radeon RX 580 is probably the best bargain for speed vs cost now for just under $200. For a gaming setup you don't want to get the least you can get away with now unless you have no plans on keeping the system for a few years. In a few years today low end will be too slow for modern games, so you want about mid range, like the RX 580 card.

I would get a 1050ti but they are so expensive.
I will mostly be using the PC for working
And then also occasional games.
Due to budget restrictions as I a still only 15, I will only get the 2200g and no graphics card because they are so EXPENSIVE!! Also, I cannot get a graphics card with the 2200g because then the integrated Vega 8 graphics will be pointless.
I will play mostly old games so everything for now should be okay...
As I will get a b450 in the future I could easily upgrade with graphics card and a better CPU.
Or get a graphics card and not another CPU when I notice newer titles getting unplayable.
Thanks for helping everyone.
How does this sound to you guys.
The ryzen 3 2200g should be great for normal use right?
Also i don't mind 720p gaming. So it should all be good right?
