Ryzen 5 2400g/2600 vs I5 8400

[kitnoman]

Can anyone help me? As I would be able to get this builds for almost the same price, can you tell me which one would be a better deal? By the way, I would probably doing only light to mid gaming, browsing and streaming.


Ryzen 5 2400g/ Ryzen 5 2600(1000php or around $20 more)
MSI B350M Bazooka
Kingston Hyperx Fury 8gb

Vs

Intel I5-8400
Gigabyte B360M D3H
Kingston Hyperx Fury 8gb



The cards that I would upgrade to is either 1060 6gb or RX 580 8gb. My psu is a Thermaltake Smart SE 730w so I’m assuming there would not be an issue which card I choice. Thanks

If you are gaming OR streaming separately then 8400. If you are planning to game and stream simultaneously then 2600. No reason to get the 2400G unless you want integrated graphics for some other reason. The APU is also restricted to 8x pcie speed which you won't notice now but may if you keep it for a while and decide to upgrade your graphics card.
