I'm trying to build a budget computer centered around a good mid-range GPU and there's surprisingly no threads I can find about this. Would the Ryzen 3 1200 or 1300x be fine or do I need to get a Ryzen 5 no matter what? also open for any intel suggestions obvviously they're just more expensive.
EDIT TL;DR: So basically for those who are too lazy to read the entire thread; it looks like waiting for the Ryzen 3 3300/3300x is the most efficient solution from what I can understand. Current Ryzen 3s are out of the question because they're quad core and these will suffer soon (the new Ryzen 3 won't be). Ryzen 5 1600x or 2600 seem to be the most value for your money if you're not willing to wait however.
