R5 2400g or any other good processor.

[Mohd_33]

I only want to know that is r5 2400g processor futureproof or should i go for any other processor in this budget.
Any answer will be appreciated.

The processor not so much, but the socket is pretty future proof, as AMD has said that AM4 for new CPU's will be used into 2020, and probably longer. AM4 should be good till at least Zen 2+, and that's a couple/few years away. A decent X370/X470 board could be good for 5 years or more, allowing multiple CPU upgrades along the way.

Depends on what this is for.
Simple browsing, MS word, some streaming(with restrictions), yeah sure.
Gaming? You're going to need a discreet graphics card if playing above 720p - although it CAN do some 1080p, albeit with some settings lowered.

If i add a gtx 1060 3gb to it..then will it be able to play games which are going to come in 5-6 years.

Nope. The 1060 3gb is a 1080p 60hz card. You will want to replace that after a couple of years.
If you want a card that'll last that long(1080ti for example), you're going to spend alot more.

2400g is for pc without display card
For gtx1060 , get ryzen 1600 or above, 6cores 12 thread +is futureproof

I will buy a gpu after 2-3 months until then i will play games on vega graphics..and ya i dont want to game on ultra,high settings..will my processor will give good performance in upcoming games.
Thanks for replying.

Keep in mind for you to get good value out of Ryzen graphics then you need fast memory in dual channel. You'll need 2 sticks of ram at least, and DDR4 2933 or better yet 3200. You'll have graphics performance around the level of a GT 1030. Also, the Ryzen graphics uses system ram, so if you buy 8gb of system ram you'll only be able to use 6gb since the other 2 will go to graphics.

The CPU itself should be fine for a while. You're not going to be needing more than 8 threads any time soon.
