Ryzen 5 2400g or budget gpu/cpu combo

[AdurnX]

So my budget Is around $650. I wanna build gaming PC for games like GTA V, R6, PUBG, Overwatch etc.
Should I buy Ryzen 5 2400g and use integrated graphics and later buy a gpu or buy GTX 1050 ti with ryzen 3 1200 or something like that?

Actually if you wait till April the refresh Raven Ridge chips will be out and you will have more options better than the 2400G which is great for a budget 900p system.

The problem is some games will be fine on a 2400G, but PUBG is not one of them. So you can't have it both ways, a budget system that also plays games like PUBG well. If you get a budget system, you won't be able to play certain games. If you want to play the most demanding games, it won't be a budget system.

So, if PUBG is game you want to play then the 1050 Ti plus Ryzen quad core is the way to go. The other games will play well on that since they are less demanding than PUBG. Prices are high right now, but if you need the computer now then obviously waiting is out of the question.

You couldn't be more wrong about that.

00:01 - 1080p (70%), very low, textures medium view distance medium
03:13 - 1080p (85 %), very low, textures medium view distance medium
06:33 - 1080p (100 %), very low, textures medium view distance medium
07:57- 1080p (100 %), very low, textures medium view distance ultra

Drop down to 900p or 720p and start bumping the settings back up, PUBG did just get a patch to improve AMD performance fairly recently. 1080p isn't the only resolution available to you games still look quite nice below that.

I would skip a 1050ti they are overpriced, the best bet is to wait for the replacements or grab a used 970 GTX for the same price used.

I find this interesting AMD will send you a CPU to flash your motherboard should it need it, you just ship the CPU back to them when your done.It's called a boot kit you get a CPU and cheap OEM cooler which they don't want back.

Ryzen 5 2400G will be fine as long as you can play without needing ultra settings.

Though, come on, who am I kidding? Ultra settings are SO last week.

 

[delaro]

I never use Ultra some effects are just irritating.

Anyways, the Ryzen 5 2400G is the way to go if you are okay with gaming at 1080p and sacrificing some graphics settings. But if you can't live without high settings and stuff like that, then get the Ryzen 3 and GTX 1050 Ti, or heck, maybe a 1060 would work.

I tried PUBg 720P with low settings last night and it sucks...gonna refund it. (2400G stock 16GB ram 3000mhz). I can run Ring Of Elysium fine for the most part on medium settings and it looks/feels better....and is free. Just have to play vs some bots since all servers are asian and it's in beta. It even ran well on Phenom II w/ 460GT circa 2010.

Apparently Pubg will run better without stuttering if you can fix your CPU to a fixed frequency multiplier, which I haven't figured out how to do yet on Asrock b350...but still FPS is in the mid 40s with big drops and the textures look like crap..mechanics a bit clunky...unresponsive controls to aim (for me)..with a new KB. I'm sure a few people got it to run better than me, but seems not ready for prime time. The few other games I tried run well.
