Amazon also has the ryzen 3 1200 for $109 here. Good for people that have gift cards/other discounts via amazon.
This $17 AIO would go great with this $67 2700x.
While the $99 Ryzen 3 1200 would get the job done just fine, it could be a bit of a bottleneck if you plan on upgrading your GPU to anything above an RX 580/GTX 1060. For a mere $65 more the Ryzen 5 2600 is a much better choice as far as performance and future proofing go. It would pair quite nicely with any GPU, and won't bottleneck pretty much anything (unless you get something ridiculous like a Titan V, perhaps). As for a motherboard, I've always went with ASUS. The ASUS Prime B350-Plus would be my choice for your price range.
It’s also $99.99 on Amazon and you don’t need a code.

You could also get a few more cores with a Ryzen 3 1200 (UK) on Amazon, although you would also have to buy a GPU but you could easily be able to get 60 fps at 1080p with a decent card.

So yes. That's real and it's all new parts and it's from reliable sellers.
lol @ XBone. Sounds like the name of a villain in a 90s action movie.
Here's the deal. You can go the console route, and that's fine. But you're going to spend a lot more money in the long run.
You buy a PS4, an xbox one, a switch, whatever. Call it $400. OK. Cool. You buy games for it. $40, $30, $50. Sweet. Controllers. $50 $50 $50... Shit it's getting expensive. New games come out. Why the fuck are they $60 a piece? Holy shit. You wait a while. Jesus they only went down to $55? FFFFFFUUUUUU I wanna playyyyyyy.... Why aren't there more games and cheaper games? Granted, you do have the nice option to buy classic games on PSN and for Switch. Ugh.....fine, I'll shell out for Overwatch. Fine. I'll shell out for Destiny 2. Fuuuuck that was like $120. What....what the fuck is this? PS5? Nintendo Switch2?
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
BUT. Let me play out that scenario for you on a PC.

Total cost: $570 US, or roughly what you'd spend on your console and a few controllers.
BUT, now you have the entire library of all the computer games ever made at your disposal. Not to mention that, but you've got emulators to play all those classics that you could have bought on the PSN/Switch.
And instead of paying $60 every time a new game comes out, you look at what came out about 6 months ago. You put it on your steam wishlist. You get an email someday soon that says "an item on your wishlist is on sale."
Oh holy shit. Doom is $16. Holy fuck, it's the steam summer sale. Games are 75% off, 80% off....they're basically giving them away.
Then you sign up for Humble Bundle.
Holy shit. You can get Alien Isolation for $5.
These are 5 star games we're talking here. Not to mention you get like 10 no names to go with it. Hell, you're probably going to spend hours playing some of those.
Pretty soon you've got 100+ games that you may have spent a few hundred dollars on. Things are great, but you decide hey, I would LIKE to have a little more FPS on these. So you order yourself a new GT 1080, and sell your 1050 on ebay making back about $50. Later on down the line you decide to upgrade the processory, maybe add a stick of ram later. Now you got a stew goin. But you don't have to, that rig will play almost anything (though possibly on lower visual settings)
PC is just more budget friendly in my opinion. You never have to just throw the whole thing away and get a new one. You can always replace components and upgrade things individually. There's never new platforms to learn, get used to. You can always use your same old controller, and you can always play your old games. In my view, buying consoles is basically throwing away money because you have to buy so much hardware EVERY TIME they decide to release a new console.
There's give and take to it. I just like the stability and deep discounts I get from Steam, GOG, and Humble Bundle. I wouldn't even game if it wasn't this cheap.
Mega ripoff, probably spam. This CPU normally retails for $95 on Newegg and Amazon. Reported.
Edit: currently $101 ships from and sold by Amazon, for example. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0741DN383/

Ah ok thanks, would the Ryzen 3 1200 CPU be a good alternative? (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0741DN383/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1)
my current cpu would bottleneck a gtx 1080. sorry forgot to link my cpu.

Maybe look into this, I have a Ryzen and the price to performance is impeccable. It is only a few dollars more expensive than the g4560 and will benefit your video editing more and gaming due to it having 4 cores over the G4560's 2

It'd cost about $400 to bring your PC to a current and upgradable state.
$120 for a Ryzen 3 1200
$120 for a GTX 1050
$100 for 8GB DDR4 (check motherboard RAM list!)
$60 for a 350 series MicroATX motherboard. I recommend MSI, ASRock, or ASUS. I've had problems with Gigabyte, most notably their garbage RMA process.
That's my recommendation.
Because I want to keep the budget as low as possible will these work together?
I know the CPU is kinda weak but still. If I went any higher it would probably need a BIOS update but I don't have any other CPUs. So should I buy these? No higher price tag. If you want recommend me other pieces at the same price, that are better. All will be purchased from Amazon.de
I took a check, and would say not to buy in Sweden - in Ireland it is the same due to high costs and not having a very big market, you will not get good value for money. However I checked in Germany and it seemed... ok-ish. But I made a dummy address in Stockholm on my Amazon UK account and came up with this for €580
(NOTE: pay in GBP, not EUR or SWK as Amazon inflate the exchange rate by a good 5c or so if you do). Delivery is only €10, so you're doing pretty great there (and the weak pound has been awesome for buying stuff on Amazon lately)!
The one thing missing from this is a case as the delivery costs are very high due to it being a big, bulky item - maybe it would be best to look for a low cost, €20 equivalent type of one near you. You won't get anything beyond a black slab of a box without breaking the budget but what is inside it is much more important in this price range and you're getting a good bit for that.
I took a quick look and this was the cheapest case I could find at €40 - https://www.netonnet.se/art/datorkomponenter/datorchassi/tower/mission-sg-ggx-1-1/239989.8976/ .... though these two at €57 look a lot nicer https://www.komplett.se/product/930914/datorutrustning/pc-komponenter/chassibarebone/midi-tower/cooler-master-masterbox-lite-31# and https://www.komplett.se/product/891800/datorutrustning/pc-komponenter/chassibarebone/minimicronano-tower/corsair-carbide-88r-midi-tower-sv
Just do a lot of checking around - any case marked ATX or MATX form factor will work, though if you want one with a window on it go MATX to match the motherboard (otherwise the motherboard will look kind of weird and tiny through the window).
I have done two 1050 TI builds as gifts with a G4560 CPU in them and was on mostly high settings at 50+ fps 1080p when testing them out, so with a 1200 quad core (that performs identical to an i5 7400 when overclocked) you should be doing a good deal better here.
Also check Amazon UK Warehouse Deals for more 1050 TIs, I got both for £111 instead of £130 off of it - they are used but will describe any wear and tear and it only means damaged packaging, plus Amazon do a no questions asked 30 day money back policy on them and will of course pay for the cost of return shipping if you need to do that.

Just found out that Amazon UK is delivering to Ireland. You might be able to get 1060 3GB within your budget. Total comes to £475, don't know about the delivery charge as I'm Prime member so it shows free for me.

I would advice you should buy a ryzen instead of upgrading to a already dead platform. A ryzen 1200+b350+8gb ddr4 ram will be ideal choice. I would have waited till zen+ (March-April) next year, but since your pc is dying, it's upto you whether you can hold on.Though 8350 with 1050ti will not be a bottleneck,but may affect in your future gpu purchase. I just checked the total price came less than 300 euros. You can wait till Christmas or buy right away since there are great discounts even now. If you want more cpu performance I would advice you go with r5 1400 or r5 1600, still total price is less than 400 euros.

That looks like a great build. However, you would get far better gaming performance by putting something like a GTX 950 in there. You could buy this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0741DN383/ref=twister_B07QDLTW62?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 and use the savings to put towards a 950, they go for £40-£50 on ebay.

And btw ik this is slightly above your price range but you cannot get a good pc with your price range srry
no. thats why i said get a ryzen3 1st gen... its 4 cores and 4T
Why do i say ryzen3? Because it costs like 59 bucks . The price gap between the Athlon 3000G and the 1st gen Ryzen3 is minimal and leaves no room for production of a 4core Athlon. It wouldn't make any sense.

because they're frequently bought together. And I can afford it, and I just thought maybe it'd be a lot better than my current really old and failing mainboard / core combo. :/
PSU - $42 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H33SFJU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_POl4CbC1QDRBZ
CPU - $67 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0741DN383/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_KPl4CbWWJH0CT
Mobo - $70 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FJ8V8FV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ARl4Cb1E4KQJP
These are definitely not the best options, but at the price limit you have I think it's probably the best you can do. I'd run it by someone else though just to make sure. Never trust just one stranger's suggestion on the internet!
Edit: I just realized you don't have a GPU. Is that why you were going for the 2200g? If so, then it's gonna be another $20 or so. But the budget you have is pretty limited for the best bang for the buck.
If i was to build from scratch though would this be any good?

That would definitely be a mistake to purchase that CPU.
As long as you have a quad-core CPU which was made in the last few years, you could easily game with an appropriate GPU. The CPU you listed is only dual-core. It won't be an awful gaming experience, but there are games which won't run on only two cores.
If you wanted an alternative to the CPU you listed you could either go for a Ryzen 3 1200 or a Ryzen 3 2200G. The Ryzen 3 1200 is a new quad-core processor and is only about $20 more than the CPU you linked. The Ryzen 3 2200G is about $40 more, but it has built-in Radeon graphics which I've seen perform really well. Just make sure you get enough high speed memory if you go with the Ryzen 3 2200G.

R3 1200 is less.
I don't know if this is necessarily a "Simple Question," but I'm always nervous to make posts, so hopefully this doesn't cross the rules, if so I'm sorry. Also if I need to add more info, please let me know, I'm new to this.
I think I want to upgrade my CPU and GPU.
My current setup:
GPU: XFX PCI-Express Video Card R7-360P-2SF5
CPU: AMD Athlon X4 860K Black Edition CPU Quad Core FM2+ 3700Mhz 95W 4MB AD860KXBJABOX
I don't know if the rest of the stuff matters but here it is:
Case+PSU: ROSEWILL Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case with PSU, Steel Computer Case + 400w Power Supply, Front I/O: 2x USB 2.0 and Audio In/Out And 90mm Rear Case Fan (R363-M)
HDD: WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD10EZEX
Motherboard: Gigabyte AMD FM2+ A68H SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 mATX ATX DDR3 2133 NA Motherboards GA-F2A68HM-H
Ram: Ballistix Sport 8GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) UDIMM 240-Pin Memory - BLS8G3D1609DS1S00
And I do want to say, that currently, it works great already. I just can hardly run the new Injustice 2 Beta, and a few other games, and now that I have the money, I'm looking to upgrade. I've been looking for hours, and I just want to make certain that these parts will work still, and that they are significantly worth it.
These are the parts I'm looking into:
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 GAMING, 2GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Card 02G-P4-6150-KR
CPU:
Either:
AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler (YD1200BBAEBOX)
or
AMD Ryzen 5 1400 Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler (YD1400BBAEBOX)
So please, help me out, let me know if you need more info. Either CPU is in my price range, but I don't know if the 5 is worth the extra money compared to the 3. I believe everything will work with my computer. I think I want the 5, just sorta want confirmation, y'know.
I would get a cheaper Ryzen 3 1200 and perhaps look into a cheaper set of speakers such as these
Otherwise, looks great! Your experience will be vastly improved.
user experience and machine longevity; perhaps watching those movies or youtube in 4k.
watching movies stutter-free while downloading or compiling or exporting video now that your sibling has decided to become a programmer or youtuber.
if starting at intel G4400 (a crappy experience), you're only talking $120 for double the cpu power plus dgpu. you'd spend more than that upgrading the shitty machine in a couple years, meanwhile the amd would still be holding its ground. i agree some would think they'd prefer the G4400 but it'll fall short of expectations and they'll want to replace it sooner than they might think, thus the short term saving becomes a long term loss.
if you start with a more and more reasonable intel cpu, the price to go double the power with amd drops to $50 in the low-mid range, and becomes $0 or cheaper at the mid and high ranges.
ryzen 1200: $109
nvidia 1030: $67
