AMD Ryzen 5 2400G 4 Cores 8 Threads Unlocked Processor with Radeon RX Vega 11 Graphics

I used this processor for a small mATX build to drive a 4K tv for both movies and some light gaming and I've been extremely happy with the results. The CPU portion of the chip is a fantastic value on its own, comparable to a Ryzen 1500X and it's performing very well.The graphics side has just blown me away though, I've been able to play multiple games in 4K (on medium-low settings granted) with decent framerates and no noticeable stuttering), so far the only two I've tried are World of Warships and Battlefleet Gothic: Armada but I've been exceedingly happy with it, I never would've believed just how capable this thing is without seeing it for myself and with current graphics card prices this thing has been a lifesaver. I liked it so much I decided to build a second one for my brother and a 2200 version for my dad.All 3 chips have been fantastic, the only things I would note is that the graphics will perform significantly better with high speed/multiple sticks of DDR4, and that if you're planning to use one of these for a HTPC or other quiet build the stock cooler isn't very loud, but if you have a fairly open case it is audible, especially if you don't have something like a HDD making noise to cover it up. It isn't loud by any means, but it's something to consider when choosing a case and people trying to build a fully silent pc may need to look at other coolers.

I would personally go with Ryzen 3 2200g or Ryzen 7 1700x. Great processor but for $5 more I’d buy the Ryzen 1700x. If you don’t have a graphics card then instead of using built in graphics, buy a Athlon 200ge (overclock to 4Ghz) and pair with a used rx 580 or gtx 1060. I’ve built many systems (a couple Athlon based) and Athlon 200ge for $50 even (at time of posting) seems to be best deal for low/mid-low GPU’s. I built a $350 budget system with a used 8gb rx 580 for $120 and averaged 70fps on beautiful settings (with 1080p) on rust. If you plan on later pairing a better gpu then a 1060 or 580 in this system then go with Ryzen 3 2200g and use Vega 8 in 720p until you can afford a rtx 2060 or Vega 56. I did this for awhile and gaming was great on Ryzen 3. Easily overclockable both gpu and cpu. If you want the most from Ryzen 3 Vega 8 then don’t overclock cpu (to conserve heat) then overclock gpu clock to 1,600Mhz or higher if u can! I would get 60+ FPS on mid/high settings with 720p on apex ledgends with Vega 8 overclocked to 1,650Mhz. The ryzen 5 cpu doesn’t have a place in my heart sadly. It performs good and I’m sure has an application. But for gaming I’d go with 2nd gen ryzen 3 or 1st gen ryzen 7 (currently $155 on Amazon). Posting this as of 2/26/19. When zen releases or ryzen 5 2400g price dips below $150 then my opinion could very well change.

Bough this for a basic computer build and it arrived in a timely manner and preforming as expected. Not using this in a gaming system so can not address that.

Got this for my new media PC, with a mini ITX board. Good value for the $$. The Stealth cooler is compact, which was critical for my build. I did have to remove the very outer fan ring, with the AMD label, to clear the memory. Very thankful that AMD allowed for that in the design or I would have been in trouble. CPU runs greats. Plenty fast for my media PC. Installed easily, but do wish the AMD CPU design would allow for an outer locking ring to clamp over the upper edge of the CPU from the board socket. Something similar to Intel's mounting design would be a wise change. I had issues with my Ryzen 1600X cooler sticking to the CPU, in another PC, and it being a nightmare to remove without damaging the CPU. My Ryzen CPU ended up actually pulling out of the socket with the cooler "glued" by the thermo paste to the CPU. Luckily I did not damage any pins. I'll still buy AMD, as they offer, by far, the best bang for the $.
