Ryzen 3 1200 or A10 7860k ?

[Patrik Knolyn]

Im Planning to upgrade my pc and i cant decide which of those two should i get a new ryzen 3 1200 or a amd a10 7860k which one should i get?

Mobo: Asus a68hm-k
CPU: A8-7650k
Ram:8gb kingston hyperX
GPU:XFX RX460 2GB

btw in my country ryzen 3 1200 and a a10 7860k are desame price and does upgrading to ryzen 3 worth it or i just buy a higher compatible fm2+ cpu like a10 7860k.

R3. The A10 7860K is an FM2+ CPU, which is end of life and an upgrade dead end.

Please note the R3 would require a new motherboard with the AM4 socket and DDR4 RAM. It is not a drop in replacement on your current hardware.

Assuming you're intending to get a suitable motherboard definitely the Ryzen 3.

Ryzen 3 is better no contest. Be sure to get the board a new ddr4 ram to go with it.

any chance you can get a b350 motherboard?

For gaming these days you want at least 8gb. Though I suppose you could start with 4gb. Alternatively, you could drop the RX 460, get a ryzen 2400g instead which would be quad core but have hyperthreading, so you would get a better CPU, and then use the savings to go to 8gb of ram in say 3000-3200 speeds.

You would probably not get quite as good graphics performance as the RX 460. I think the onboard graphics on that chip is around the range of the GTX 1030 or RX 550. But you could use that until you upgraded to a better graphics card later.

Ryzen 3 is far better than anything on FM2+. I would not spend any money on FM2+. You will need a new AM4 motherboard and DDR4 RAM however so you have to consider that if you want Ryzen. I would get:

- Ryzen 3 1200
- 8GB RAM (2x4GB) and at least 3000MHz. Do not cheap out on the RAM you WILL regret it with the 2200G/2400G.
- Cheap AM4 motherboard
- Bring over the old GPU
- New PSU if yours is old or lower quality.

You already have a GPU so I wouldn't bother getting an APU processor at all. The integrated GPU in the Ryzen 2200G is 80% slower than an RX 460. The 2400G costs more with more GPU/CPU performance.

Oh I see, op already had the GPU, so in that case, yes get the 1200. But go to 8gb if you can for sure.

What is the difference between b350 and b320 ?

 

[superninja12]

b350 fits your cpu and b250 does not

 

[ohiou_grad_2006]

You must be thinking of a320. A320 will work with ryzen, but is a very cut down no frills board. Get the b350 so you can overclock and get more performance from the cpu.
