Hello Guys Please help me what to choose. Im planning to build a gaming pc . A10 9700 + A320 Motherboard DDR4 or Ryzen 3 2200g + a320 Motherboard DDR4. or should i use B350 Motherbord for A10 9700 / Ryzen 3 2200g

I would believe the Ryzen APU is newer and better than the A10 APU.

If you should purchase the Ryzen APU be sure you go to your Motherboard's RAM QVL List and purchase RAM MEMORY Modules from that list. Those listed have been shown to be compatible with Ryzen APUs.

The 2200G is substantially faster that the Excavator based A10-9700.

The B350 chipset allows for overclocking, so if that is something that is of interest to you, you'll need that chipset.  If not, you can probably stay with the A320.

If you're building a GAMING PC, then you don't want an APU, you want a CPU and discrete video card. If you want a PC to play casual games on, then you want the 2400g. As you can see from Extremetech's review of the 2400g, in actual games, even several years older games, it is not capable of 60fps at 1920x1080, and in some games isn't able to do 60fps at 1280x720.
