Making a Ryzen 2400g build, can anyone confirm it will all work together? Or maybe even suggest a better option?

So i was thinking of building a PC with the new Ryzen 5 2400g. From the research i've done,i gathered that a 3200mhz memory would work best, G.Skill Flare X 2x8gb in particular.

Now, i've found that the flare x doesnt work well with some motherboards, so i went to their site to see the QVL and it says that a GA-AB350 Gaming 3 or GA-AB350m Gaming 3 would be ok and within my price range.

The purpose of it is to get me through this period of high GPU prices, and i was thinking of adding a gtx 1060ti when/if the price goes down (i know it would replace the ryzen iGPU).

My budget at the moment is about 450-500e. I want to ask if you think that this configuration would work well, or if you know any parts that would work just as well as this , in the same price range.

Someone also recomended to me to get a hyper x fury 2x8gb 2666mhz, and overclock it to 3000mhz (because the APU works better at high ram speeds), but it sounds like a high boost and i'm not sure if it'll work alright and i also heard that the Furys are more compatible with intel than amd.

Also, do i need an SSD to run all this or will a normal hard disk with 7200 speed be alright?


IF the hyperx fury could do the same job just as well as the flare x, what MoBo should i get to go with it? I'm not too familiar with the tech world :p

I just want to optimize it as much as i can to get the most out of what I buy ...

Also i should probably note that i already have my old case and power supply and a WD blue 1TB, so i don't need to waste money on that

I intend to use it for gaming. Mostly titles such as r6: siege, for honor, some other older titles. I've checked, the 2400g should run it well enough. And later, if the prices drop a little, i would add that 1060ti to run some newer stuff.

I'm not really open to 2nd hand parts mostly because there's no way of knowing in tech if something is worn out, and i like having a warranty and someone to turn to if something goes to s**t.

General consensus seems to be that any RAM with Samsung B dies work well for raven ridge. Just about any DDR4 WITH LOW Timings will be samsung B dies.
I have corsair vengeance with hynix dies in my 2400G build and it runs very well.
So I recommend you find a moterboard in your price range with the features you want. Once you know what mobo you wan't research what RAM works best for that mobo.
