As for the processor, I think the ryzen 3 is a fantastic deal for $89 you get 4 cores 8 threads, a fan and an integrated GPU that is enough for the kind of gaming I do.
For my first build I did not want to invest tons of money or overbuild without knowing what the results would be. Later on I can add an extra GPU if I see any limitations.
Also I used 16gb ddr4 3200 because that really helps the integrated GPU.

.

Yes, 2200g seems like a perfect value build.
I think Ryzen 5 2600 is more heavy-duty, and more $$$

What kind of gaming do you do?
