I decided against the R2000 models because of the required BIOS update. I have no way of doing this myself and I don't want to go through AMD's "borrow a CPU" thing. It sounds like a lot of hassle.
I've always intended on using a dedicated GPU anyways. The GTX 950 is just a stopgap until prices normalize a bit more, and I already have it. It also performs as well, if not a bit better, than the onboard Ryzen 2000 series (which is about a GTX 1030).
Performance for the R3 1200 vs R3 2200G seems like a wash. They are pretty much the same.
