Verdict
Our verdict on the Ryzen 5 3400G
This is a decent budget all-in-one chip for basic gaming, but its older Zen+ architecture holds back the CPU side.
Get it if you want a cheap starter PC for light gaming or office work without needing a separate graphics card. Skip it if you plan to add a dedicated GPU later, as newer budget CPUs are faster for the same price.
Buy it if…
- You need a cheap gaming PC without a separate graphics card.
- You want a basic office or home computer that feels fast enough.
- You're building a small media server that needs decent built-in video.
