So I've been wanting to build a Ryzen 5 1500X machine since it hit shelves so I could test it against my i7-3770K clock for clock. But now I would just want something to game with.
I would get an Athlon X4 950 because its a 3.5Ghz quad core for only $60.
I would go for a Ryzen 3 1200 because its suitable for my 1080p needs.
I would go for a Ryzen 5 1500X so I could replace my i7 for when/if I get back into CPU bound tasks.
Any idea how well the APU's perform relative to Ryzen 3's?

Those APU's are leftover Bulldozer shit. Don't bother unless you're completely broke.
Athlon x4 950:
Base: 3.8
Max: 3.5
wut

These APUs are not Zen based. They use a CPU architecture from 2011, dont buy.
Get a 1600

Only buy if you want to upgrade to Zen2/Ryzen later

lol dum, you want cpu something to game with and upgrade? 1700x or bust.
