You haven't given us a budget, which makes it difficult to help with a most-bang-for-buck system.

Most AM4 motherboards (which is what Ryzen system use), will take anything from the APU you have listed to an RX3950 (16 cores/32 threads). If finances are tight, A Ryzen 1600AF CPU is a better bet cpu-wise: 6 cores/12 threads for $85.

If you are willing to go used - an HP Z620 (6 cores/12 threads, 32Gb of ram) system can be had off Ebay for $270. Slap an Nvidia GPU in, and Bob's your uncle.

I know you can get some good deals off ebay, but I don't trust ebay. I will be going used though. Right now, trying to stay under 500-600 dollars.
