Ryzen 3 1300X or i3-8100

[Akamai]

Hi, posting for a friend. My friend can't decide which one to choose since they're almost close to each other. The i3 costs more than R3 here in our country. Youtube videos shows that the i3 is much more recommended though I just want to know your opinions here. He's going to pair it with 16GB RAM and a GTX 1050Ti. Main purpose is for gaming only (PUBG and DoTA 2). Also please tell which is the best budget-performance motherboard chipset for the R3 and i3. Thanks!

Do not listen to i3 fanboys. the i3 is absolutely crap at gaming and you definitely want the Ryzen over that. An i5 will be great but the i3 isn't, so if ur budget is low go for Ryzen, but if it's higher, go for an i5.

So you have no idea what the heck you're talking about, obviously. The new i3's are quad cores, and -NOT- the dual core garbage of years past.

Gaming tests start at 8:25 mark, the i3-8100 is only -9 FPS below the 7700K, when mated with ddr4-3200 ram. It is a slower chip if one uses slower 2400 mhz ram with it. But with fast enough ram, the new i3's are perfectly capable gaming cpu's.

i3-8100 has better performance then all Ryzen 3 CPUs, even when you overclock Ryzens.
Only thing that are better then i3-8100 are Ryzen 6-cores and 8-cores.

Why would anyone witht he budget of an i3 go for fast RAM when they could get a better CPU for the extra cost they would spend on RAM?

There is not any substantial price difference between a 2400Mhz and a 3000-3200Mhz RAM.

Extra costs are only on RGB ones and ones that are even faster, like 3600Mhz.

Easy, neither did you till I told you about a week ago.

OP get what is cheaper because there will be no difference gaming with a 1050 ti, but AMD is going to release 7nm on the current board so I would lean more that way with the possibility of great performance jump with the same motherboard.

Around me 3000MHz RAM costs way more than 2400MHz one.

Well that just means that you have to look better.
Also, sometimes a 3200Mhz is cheaper than a cheapest 3000Mhz.

We don't have Amazon here.

if he is on a budget he should go Intel 8400, RX 570/580 4GB or GTX 1060 3GB + 8 GB RAM.

Curious where "here" is?
