Ryzen 5 2400 or 1600 for video editing

[gurujee1]

I have been recommended this config for Video Editing purpose but I am confused between 1600 and 2400g as which would be better for editing and rendering.... no gaming will be done by it.

AMD Ryzen 5 2400G -
Asus Prime B350-Plus
Crucial Ballistix 8GB DDR4 3000MHz
Asus Phoenix GTX 1050 Ti 4GB
Corsair CX 550
Antec GX200
WD Caviar Blue 1TB
LG 22MP68VQ-P 22” LED IPS

1600 by far..... (the 2400G is a slightly higher clocked 1400, but now w/ integrated graphics, and both being 4 core cpus.

The Ryzen 5 1600 is a 6 core processor however the Ryzen 2400G is a 4 core processor.
1600 has higher clockspeed.
You also have a dedicated GPU so you don't need an APU (2400G), the 1600 is much better in this situation.

Should I just take 1600 instead of 2400 or I need to pick up another motherboard ram and graphics card?

First of all, definitely get the 1600 over the 2400G.

Second of all your GPU will be compatible however to get the 1600 you will need an AM4 motherboard, if your current motherboard is an AM4 motherboard then it will work, if not then you will have to buy a new AM4 motherboard.
