R3 2200g vs i5 3570k

[adamfya]

So, not sure im going to get around to building my own rig just yet, with prices as they are and my very limited experience..
So i have a couple of second hand options,
1; ryzen 3 2200g
2; i5 3570k.

Both similar spec and under 250....
Any thoughts....rig will not be used for gaming....

I5 3570K came out in 2012/13...Ryzen is a far newer chip.

3570k USES DDR3, versus the new modern DDR4, so less memory bandwidth.

What is your budget and what components do you have so far if any?

 

[adamfya]

No real budget tbh. Have a case, hdd and cd drive, thats about all....??

2200g would be my choice what your use if not gaming ?

 

[adamfya]

General home use, surfing, bit of accounts etc

In a pure cpu head to head, the i5 would probably end up ahead, but not by a lot. But the 2200g has a whole lot of advantages. Much better integrated gpu, much newer platform, so loads of upgrade potential.

All things being equal i would get the 2200g

The Am4 platform will give you upgrade options if your needs change so it makes most sense to go that route.

New

You could go intel 10100 quad core h410 motherboard and 16gb of ram for £250.

Not against going intel if it makes more sense...could i run m.2 off the h410 board?

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x MSI B460M PRO-VDH WIFI (Socket LGA 1200) DDR4 Micro-ATX Motherboard= £96.95
• 1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2D30= £74.99
• 1 x Corsair CX-M Series CX550M 550W 80 Plus Bronze Semi Modular Power Supply (CP-9020102-UK)= £57.95
• 1 x Intel Core i3-10100 3.6GHz (Comet Lake) Socket LGA1200 Processor - Retail= £99.95
• 1 x TeamGroup 512GB Vulcan G SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 3D NAND Solid State Drive= £46.99

Total £376.83

Micky finn always seems to give good advice. Last time a similar question came up was something like this

the 10100 isnt in stock here atm but gives you an idea

Yes most of the h410 motherboard has an m2 slot but always check motherboard specs.

Would get the 10100 over a 2200G myself (don't get the F, no onboard graphics), but if you do go for a 2200G, buy a decent B450 motherboard for future upgrades. The 10100 IGP is a lot weaker than the 2200G, but you could wait for Rocket Lake as the IGP is much more powerful.

The 3570K is a decent CPU, but like said above, the platform is just far too old, it has no upgrade potential and you'd be buying DDR3.

Thanks for the info, the 2200g comes on a a320mk prime i think...

Not much upgrade potential with that one, officially it's only Zen 2 and it has very simple VRMs.
