Afternoon good people of the internet,

Looking for a bit of advice on a gaming build.

So i have a budget of £300 but I already have a PSU and for now i'll be using a GTX 760 until I can upgrade to a 1050 ti. I also I do plan on overclocking..

Currently im thinking to go with:

Mobo - MSI B350 Gaming Pro £61
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 2666 2x4GB £88
CPU - Ryzen 3 1200 - £71
SSD - Kingston A400 240GB - £42

This brings my total to £262. So my main question is.. What processor would you guys recommend?
I could go for the 1500x which would take me £10 over budget but I get an extra .4Ghz or the 2200g which is only £10 more than the 1200 and has 3.5Ghz and 4 cores the same as the 1500x...

How comes the 1500x costs more than the 2200g when it has the same clock speeds?

Any help and advice is much appreciated as I have been researching for a while now and i'm getting totally confuzzled!
