I have an old pc:

Stock power supply 450W built into Intex cabinet
I3-2120
4gb 1333mhz nameless ram
A basic motherboard to go with the proxessor whose ports hardly function.
Asus EN210 1gb graphics card

Now, since I have not been able to save for a new rig. The last option left is to upgrade the processor and motherboard here to play the games I've missed so far. My current pc is not working properly, mainly because the motherboard is failing. Kindly suggest an upgrade where I don't have to spend more than 15k-20k and I will be able to play games till 2014-15 at the very least on normal settings.
What I have in mind is get a pentium g4650 and a compatible motherboard + some outdated graphics card. As evident, any basic config today will be better than my old rig.

Please answer with any suggestions or input.

PROCESSOR-AMD RYZEN 3 2200-8000
MOTHERBOARD-ASUS PRIME A320M-K-4000
RAM-ADATA 8GB DDR4 RAM-6000
PSU-ANTEC VP450 WATTS-2600
May I ask what resolution you monitor have?
You don't to spend on GPU as Integrated graphics can really play recent games in low to medium settings also your current power supply is junk so I suggested a good PSU for you

G4560 doesn't make sense if you are going to upgrade it in future .. It's a hyper threaded dual core A g4560/+ 1030 will give you better performance at higher price . but it isn't future proof
Go with 2200g as suggested by minion , you can check benchmarks on YouTube, has a nice integrated gpu for price ..
You can add a decent low-mid end discreet gpu in future with 2200g and it won't bottleneck as it's a full quad core , g4560 will in few games..

2 very important things

1) Ram - it is very important that you go with 2 x 4gb sticks atleast 2400/2666 mhz , to run it in dual channel .. Otherwise you can loose as much as 40% performance by going with only 1 stick with 2200g..

2) go with corsair CX 450 @ 3200 , this is higher quality and comes with 5 year warranty, more bang for buck



Do search benchmarks and then decide accordingly

hmm , please share some source/bench/info about getting 40% more performance by going dual . My impression was that dual channel RAM made only some difference in specific cases.

That is true for discreet gpus since they have their own dedicated higher bandwidth gddr5 or 5x , so dual channel doesn't matter

In apus or igpus they don't have their own dedicated memory ,graphic memory is taken/shared from system memory which is very low on bandwidth.. Hence dual channel makes a big difference here as they are bandwidth bottlenecked

You can search more on YouTube , exact performance difference may vary from game to game
