[SOLVED] Is AMD Ryzen 3 1200 worth it in 2019?

[OfficeMatti]

Hello everyone!
So, im wondering building a new PC which would be based on AMD Ryzen 1200, i need to know is it going to be worth it in 2019, can it be used for gaming? (Fallout 4, KF2, PD2, Minecraft, PUBG etc.) Im going to buy it used (40€=$44). Is it going to be much diffirence on performance between my Xeon X5650 (6 cores 12 threads) and Ryzen 3 1200 (4 cores 4 threads)?
Ill be waiting for anwsers and thanks in advance!

more a lateral move than an upgrade for gaming.
however you will have a motherboard with the potential to run the newer chips. DDR4 and all the bells and whistles time has brought. platform wise the upgrade makes sense to me. throw a ryzen 5/7 in there later and your good.

My advice would be, if it is all you can afford at the moment, go for it. It’a future proof platform with an upgrade path if you need to upgrade later on (which you will)
