I have a gigabyte a320m-s2h-cf mobo and a ryzen 3 1200.. With that mobo i cant overclock the cpu so its better to buy a new mobo and overclock the cpu or buy a new cpu for better perfomance?
 
Solution
The R3 3100 and 3300x are 3rd gen. R5 3400g is technically a 2nd gen chip, just like the 2600x, just with fewer cores/threads. If you need the cores/threads, the R5 2600x is a good choice. The R3 3100 is faster, for most gaming scenarios, than the 2600x, and there is no situation where the 3400g is faster, in anything. Since you apparently already have a dedicated graphics card, a 3400g is kinda pointless.
