Hello Guys,
Apologies if I initiated a similar post, haven't used this forum for quite a lot time. Anyways coming towards main aspect of this post i need a advice on what configuration should I buy. Below are the details :

Config 1 :
Ryzen 3 2200g,
4Gb x 2 sticks of 2400mhz,
Msi a320m mobo,
And a antec bp450p psu.

Config 2:
I3 9100f,
8gb x 1 stick of 2400mhz.
Msi a310h mobo (bios updated)
Antec bp450p.

Config 3 :
Ryzen 5 1600,
4gb x 1 stick 2400mhz,
Asrock a320m mobo.

Please note that I'm on a very tight budget. I already own a HDD and a gt 730 Gddr5 Gpu and a very very cheap generic Chinese PSU. If i choose to go with ryzen 5 1600 then i have to use this cheap brand Psu. Although i will be adding a few other stuffs like a 4gb additional ram stick and a rx 570 in couple of months and if i go with r5 1600 I'll then have to add a PSU but for this moment i cannot buy a good PSU. I'm worried if i go with r5 1600,then i have to use this cheap generic psu which you'll know can damage components. I dont think it'll do much damage in just a month but future is uncertain. I already own a gt 730 for display purpose, no problems in that. What you guys think, which one should i get?

I'll be performing some casual gaming, movies, Web browsing. Also, please do not recommend any other CPUs as well, this is maximum i can go.

On the other hand I'm getting a feeling that i3 9100f is powerful in single core, dual core and 4 cores, where as r5 1600 has a weak single core, but is way older as well, around 2-3 years, i believe. I3 9100f is a newer one.
I'm requesting you'll to please help me in this regard. I'll really appreciate any help.
Thanking you'll in anticipation. :)
 
Solution
I cannot recommend using a cheap low quality psu ever. Also you want dual channel RAM and buying a stick later is not guaranteed to work without issues. RAM should be bought in matched kits. Therefore there is only one option I can recommend, config 1.

It was a good choice but for ur build i'll say
Config 2:
I3 9100f,
8gb x 1 stick of 2400mhz.
Msi a310h mobo (bios updated)
Antec bp450p.


Get a better psu it is so worth going for nvidia but make sure u have a graphics card cos the intergrated one is disabled
