If you already have a GPU get a better processor. The 2200G is a more expensive Ryzen 1200 beacuse it has integrated graphics.

Get a Ryzen 1600, 6 core/12 thread vs the 4/4 of the 2200G.

If the budget is very tight, a 1600 + A320M or cheaper B350M is way better than an expensive B350 + 2200G (or 1200).
