Building a budget PC Ryzen 3 Vs Intel Pentium Gold
The Budget PC builders dilemma in 2018! Intel pentium Gold G5400 Ryzen 3 2200G If you are trying to work out what is the the best budget pc build in the second half of 2018, you are probably very confused about the best options and what upgrade paths are available, if any!
The current BEST VALUE CPU is the INTEL PENTIUM GOLD G5400. Price per performance and the fact it is only £50 it really is a fantastic proposition. But when you look at the RYZEN 3 2200G for nearly £100 with four physical cores, unlocked multiplier and built in VEGA 8 graphics, this is another fantastic option. But take into consideration that you may already have a graphics card, or you are planning to buy a GTX1050ti or a Radeon RX570 then the balance swings back into the INTEL camp. Also consider you could save a few pounds or dollars by using a budget H310 Intel motherboard against the benefits of the overclocking options of the more expensive B350 or B360 chipset boards and again a few extra pounds can improve things dramatically. Essentially there isn't a definitive answer to a right or wrong decision, but hopefully this series of videos (more to follow) will give you some information and a balanced view of what the pros and cons are of each platform.
