With AMD and Nvidia launching new GPUs soon, I considered building a budget rig using a Ryzen 3 3200G and an RTX 3050 or 6500X. I questioned whether the 3200G could handle it or if I’d need a stronger CPU. If upgrading was necessary, what would you suggest?
It’s hard to confirm with certainty until it’s checked, but the 3050 should match the performance of a 1660 or 1660ti. The RX 6500xt seems similar to the RX 590, and neither should be limited by your CPU.
It will slow things down and reduce performance by half compared to the previous model when used with the i5 2400. No comments on the 3050 either—did you already purchase a 3200G? And what’s your budget for this project?
I haven't purchased the CPU yet, but I'm aiming for a budget of $500 to $600. It should cover gaming, streaming, recording, and Fortnite.
You might be paying more for a G-series CPU because it offers better performance and efficiency compared to other options, making it worthwhile despite the higher cost.
From AMD, the 3200G is roughly the same price as a solid CPU these days.
Do you want to pay $500-$600 now or wait until you get the graphics card?
