And most of the work is still on the GPU so you may have wanted to hold out for the 1060/1070 unless you wanted to get into ($$$$) UHD 4K gaming.
WHY THE 2400G? https://www.anandtech.com/show/12425/marrying-vega-and-zen-the-amd-ryzen-5-2400g-review/5 has it barely holding its own against the paltry 1030. The CPU with the graphics will take a CPU hit as memory is accessed for graphic work. I can't see why anyone would get a 2400G.
Notice how the G models fall out as you go up the models at https://www.reddit.com/r/PCMasterRace/wiki/builds
Hi everyone!
Currently I have a budget build with an AMD FX-6300 and a 1050ti 4gb and 8GB DDR3 RAM
I'm looking for an upgrade since I know the FX platform is dead and is a time bomb just waiting to get obsolete. RAM doesn't help much either so you get the picture.
I'm really indecisive if going for a Ryzen upgrade The Ryzen 5 1600 or Ryzen 5 2400g or just go with Intel and get an i5 8400
If you have better suggestions please do say so. I have very basic knowledge on PC building.
I want something with an upgrade path for the future that can still run smooth some 2018 games at medium-high settings.
Of course this means that I would need to upgrade the Mobo and the RAM as well, that's why I want to make the best choice.
Thanks in advance for your help!
