Hi, I want to build a budget gaming PC but I am confused between Ryzen 3 2200g and 5 2400g.
The price difference between Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 3 in the place I live is equal to the price of 8 gb of ram. So, should I go with Ryzen 3 2200g with 16 gb ram or Ryzen 5 2400g with 8 gb ram?
I am not planning to buy a graphics card in the future. Just need this computer for my study and some gaming (doom4, bf1, far cry 5 etc).

Why so aggressive? This is a forum for advice, not a place to have emotional fights with people over information and downvote anything you don't like.

@OP this isn't necessarily about price to performance now, but even down the line. It would be better to get the 2400g now because of the extra 4 threads and graphics horsepower giving you a bit of extra staying power. If, in the future, you decide to add a graphics card (maybe you change your mind), the 2400g will handle it significantly better. Think about it on the level of price/performance of the entire computer. If you spend $400 on a 2200g system but could have spent $450 on a 2400g system with 25-35% better gaming performance, that's not really as good of a value. With APU's...

Those games you listed are not light titles. You could definitely get by on a 2400g in those, however, and I would suggest the 2400g and 8GB over the 2200g. Make sure that you get a motherboard with 4 RAM slots so you can upgrade to 16GB later if you want to. Have you considered looking for a used PC? Could be a decent option depending on prices in your area.

Thanks for your quick answer. I watched some youtube videos and those games are pretty much playable with an average 35-45 fps on Ryzen 3 at 1080p. And Ryzen 3 and 5's difference is like 5-10 fps. BF1 can be played at 1080p with med settings, high texture in Ryzen 5. But Ryzen 3's price to performance ratio looks better. 5 is a bit more powerful but 3 gives better value plus I can get 8 gb of extra ram. So is it really worth choosing Ryzen 5 over 3 while I am on a tight budget? In all threads people are siding with 2400g but youtube made me confused. Extra $60 on Ryzen 5 doesn't seem to give that much extra over Ryzen 3.

I'm sorry but playing a game in 2018 using resolution from 2007 isn't really "playing" it

"Make sure to flip through our 1080p test results. We set the quality preset to Low, yet still ran into a few hitches with both Raven Ridge processors at stock settings. The Ryzen 5 2400G fared better at 1080p after tuning, but Ryzen 3 2200G still suffers from stuttering and hitching. AMD is clear that its 2200G is primarily for 720p gaming, and Battlefield 1 concurs."

For budget gamers that's not a problem. I want to play games just to pass time and I wanna buy the best possible setup for the money. That's why I ask the question in the first place. And there are a few tweaks and tricks on internet to fix the stuttering. Not everyone is facing it. So it can be solved through bios and software. Toms ran it on February. Now it's November. Obviously some problems have been solved by now.

When it comes to BF1, everything you said is 100% wrong. And FYI, it is a fact from Dice themselves that the game has actually got even more difficult on weaker systems since the DLC patches since Tom's article. Head on over to the BF forums and read the countless threads about it.

With APU's, the extra money gets you better CPU and GPU performance, not only CPU, and the cost upfront will be a lot less than 2 years down the line when your CPU doesn't cut it anymore and you need to both upgrade that and possibly buy a GPU.

If my words come off as aggressive that wasn't my intentions. The reason for my downvote is if you read his post it's as if he speaks for the gaming community that's on a budget when in reality it's far from the truth. I'm not saying he shouldn't get a 2200g but his expectations of what it can do for demanding games such as BF1 are going to leave him highly disappointed

Agree with your last line. 2400g will be more future proof for sure. Thanks for the advice.
