I will soon get a gtx 1050 ,and i want to know if i should upgrade my cpu to a ryzen 1200 or 2200g

What do you have right now? Computing power wise, they are about the same. So get the cheaper of them. The 2200g has onboard graphics where the 1200 does not. If you will have a GTX 1050 however, the built in graphics are a moot point imo.

If you do not like to overclock or your mobo can not stand it (A320 chipset) then go for Ryzen 3 2200G which has a 3.5GHz base speed and 3.7GHz boost and Ryzen 3 1200 instead has a 3.1GHz base speed and boost 3.4GHz.

If you like overclock go for cheaper of them and overclock it.

The only reason not to go to Ryzen 3 2200G is that the BIOS version of the mobo does not support it and you have no way of updating it.

Yes 2200g would have higher base speed. You could also consider the 1300x. It and the 2200g will be probably close to the same at stock.
