[Mohd_33]

Hello everyone,
Can anyone pls tell me out of these which one will be the best in gaming performance when i will combine them with a gtx 1050ti -
R3 1200
R3 1300x
R3 2200g
I3 8100.
Thanks.

R3 overclocked with 3200mhz RAM are about the same as a i3 8100 with 2400mhz RAM. Each has titles that favor either Intel or AMD so it depends on what you play.

If you have an A320 motherboard for the Ryzens, you can't OC, so the Intel will do far better comparatively. You'd need a B350 or x370/x470 to get their performance benefits.

Can't OC the 8100 but CoffeeLake works best with 2666MHz ram, skylake was 2133 and kabylake was 2400.

Actually Coffee Lake performance scales with RAM speed too just not as drastic as Ryzen, 2666 MHz is the recommended minimum. 3200MHz CL14 or CL15 or 3000mhz CL14 memory are the best place to start regardless if you pick Ryzen or Coffee Lake.

As far as A320 boards you can't overclock CPU's but you can overclock RAM and since RYZEN gets a hefty boost from that it's still worth it for a ultra budget builder since the performance is real close to what you see in a i3 8100.

R5 1500X used $125
R3 1300X used $75..$124 new
2200G $99
A320 board $40-$60
B350 board $75
G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 3000mhz CL15 $90
.....................
$205-$290


i3 8100 $118
Pentium Gold 5400 $75
B360 board $68 "No Overclocking whatsoever" Avoid B310 boards
Z370 $118
Same RAM $90 since it is cheaper than 2666mhz
.......................
$233-$326

Well the B250 mobo's only officially support 2133/2400 as that's what Intel set as cpu defaults for skylake/kabylake, the b360 support 2133, 2400 or 2666MHz as that's default for CoffeeLake. You'd need to move to a Zseries mobo to get OC ram values upto @4000MHz.

An i3-8100 would be pointless on a Z series mobo unless it's a ride-me-over until budget affords the higher capacity cpus that'll benefit from the board.

If you can afford any one of those, I'd get the i3. If you weren't using a videocard, I'd get the 2200g so I could use the integrated graphics. But you are using a videocard so that leaves the i3.

You have listed CPU's but you haven't listed your motherboard.... You do realise AMD and Intel CPU's cannot work on each others motherboards.
