Important thing: use dual channel RAM like 2x4GB, dch increases gpu processing power quite a bit. So low latency high Mhz RAM properties are as important as CPU itself in case of igpu

In emulation where pure single core performance is still king, it is hard to beat a recent intel processor excetpt with a better (and probably kore recent intel processor). For multi threading (which is important for pretty much everything else) it is getting closer and closer. So if you want to purely use the system for emulation then the 630 is good enough generally amd the 7350k's pure ipc is hard to beat. If you want to do any native PC gaming or well almost anything else, then the 2400g is probably the more generally useful all around option and much better for certain tasks like native pc gaming.
Thank you both. Now though we have an other issue. From what I have read on this forum, to overclok the I3 7350k you need a motherboard from the z line of chip sets. Have I understood this correctly?
Taking this in to account I have updated my shopping list:
