I'm thinking of buying an used Ryzen 3 for cheap price, i found some Ryzen 3 1200 and Ryzen 3 2200g, i will buy the GPU later (or maybe use the integrated one if that's applicable), which one is a good option for low end gaming like Minecraft, PC Building Simulator and video editing? I will use a 450w PSU, and i will buy an motherboard MSI A320M Pro-E.

Thanks.

No, it really doesnt allow since it's 20 euros more expensive, (budget is 180 euros) this is the build:
Motherboard MSI A320M PRO-E - sk AM4 47,90 €
AMD - RYZEN 3 2200G 3.5GHZ 2MB L2 83,23 €
CRUCIAL - Ballistix Sport DIMM DDR4 8GB 2666M Unbuffered € 36, 89
SSD 2.5" Kingston A400 120GB TLC SATA 17,90€
Total: 185,90€ is there something bad here?

well i see you are going with 120gb SSD and u dont have HDD too(maybe u said 80gb)
i dont think that will be enough Storage for you
Why dont you just dont buy SSD and just get a 1 tb HDD...it is worth to wait 1 minute more to load windows in 1TB HDD then tht of a 120gb SSD
may be later in near future u can add SSD...


and Please go for Dual channel ram 2x4gb sticks it will boost performance for sure

Thanks for your opinion, I can't because HHD is more expensive for my budget and SSD has faster loading times that even improved my old low-end laptop before i had this i7 (i had i5 3230m 710m), i just can't go anymore with HDD, i can only use it for data nothing more. (HDD 50 euros SSD 20 euros.) Maybe later i can put one more HDD.
My games load in 1 second (minecraft) because of SSD, but if all goes ok next year i buy one HDD.

So guys, after some time, I was thinking myself if the performance of my pc will be worse than my ideapad 700, since the cpu of the laptop was high end and this isn't (and the gpu).
Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Really you are going to see less performance than your laptop.

But you could sell your current laptop to add budget to your 2200g system.

You could throw in a used RX570 into the 2200g system which would triple your current laptops framerate.

I could but I'm still paying it which makes that option not viable, if I could put an gtx 560 or something later would I see increase?

So I'm deciding between this two builds
CPU and gpu are used
I3 8100t
Gtx 560 ti
8gb ddr4
120GB ssd
Msi H110m
195€

And
All new
Ryzen 3 2200g
No GPU
8gb ddr4
120gb ssd
Msi a320m
190€
 
Ryzen 3 2200G APU with Radeon Vega 8 Graphics--This is OK
4X2GB RAM 2133MHz-- This is OK
120GB SSD + 80GB HDD-- Forego the SSD in favor of more HDD space.
450w 2hix PSU-- Get a PSU from a more reputable brand if you can afford it.
MSI A320M Motherboard -- This is OK

Since you're not from the US it would be harder for me to make suggestions on what for you to get BECAUSE I don't know what is available where you are and how much it costs.

If I used a higher frequency 8GB DDR4 single channel will it decrease the performance? It costs much lower. You can search on

i saw used parts on www.olx.pt
