I was going to switch to his build but I want a ATX motherboard. What do you guys think
Stay with mine or go with his with a ATX board
Thanks

So just get an ATX B350 board, what's the problem?

Shektron :

Ok thanks would you recomend i use the ryzen 2200g graphics or get the graphics card above

Shektron · Jun 14, 2018

The RX 460 is 87% faster than the integrated graphics that come with the 2200G, so the RX 460 would definitely be the better option.

Guest · Jun 14, 2018

Shektron :

Ok thanks
Would 8GB of ram be enough

Shektron · Jun 14, 2018

Considering your budget and other parts, I doubt 16 GB is a viable option anyway, but if you can push to 16 GB then that would certainly be better.

Guest · Jun 14, 2018

Shektron :

What benefits would 16Gb have

maxalge · Jun 14, 2018

utterly leaves those two options in the dust:

Would this work Skektron

Shektron · Jun 14, 2018

Actually, you should listen to maxalge. That build right there will indeed be much better for gaming, and I would suggest you consider that as an option. When considering budget options, Intel does always come up with interesting propositions. While the build you have done will work, the build done two posts above this will be a whole lot better at each and every game out there.

Though keep in mind you're trading an SSD for a better GPU with that build, a change I would profess any day.

Guest · Jun 14, 2018

Ok thanks

Guest · Jun 14, 2018

I can't seem to find comparability for my ram on msi website would it still work.
Mobo : MSI - B350 GAMING PLUS
Ram : Corsair - Vengeance LPX 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
Cpu : Ryzen 3 1200
Thanks (;

Guest · Jun 14, 2018

What ram would you suggest for the MSI - B350 GAMING PLUS and ryzen 3 1200
Here is my build
https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/6vCxgw
Or will my ram work fine
Thanks

Shektron · Jun 15, 2018

The RAM you've selected will be fine, but there is no definite way of saying whether it will work at 3000 MHz or not. There have been many attempts at improving Ryzen's memory compatibility, but high speed RAM support is still a bit...questionable. Either way, 2666 MHz is attainable on every motherboard, and a 3000 MHz stick should be able to run at at least 2933 MHz as far as I know. All in all, it is indeed compatible.

Guest · Jun 15, 2018

Ok so it should work no matter what

Shektron · Jun 15, 2018

Yep. Unless it's DOA or something, of course.

Guest · Jun 15, 2018

I hope this ram isn't DOA
Corsair - Vengeance LPX 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-3000 Memory

Shektron · Jun 16, 2018

Only way to tell is to actually use it. DOA means Dead on Arrival, in case you didn't know. So that problem would be specific to the kit you have received, I can't tell from halfway across the world whether that RAM is defective or not.

Guest · Jun 16, 2018

Ok thanks I didn't know what that meant

rcbuilder2023 · Sep 23, 2018

The build I ended up going with was a
AMD Ryzen 5 2600
Msi Geforce 1050 Ti
Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 5 RGB
250 Gb SSD
8 Gb DDR4 2400 Thermal Take Lite Power Series 550 W
Asus ROG Strix B350-F Gaming AM4 ATX Motherboard

I do have one question is the power supply strong enough I went Umart and the guy helped me pick some different parts. After doing some reading it seams like the PSU isn't good enough.
Thanks

Oh and I am anonymous

Shektron · Nov 3, 2018

No, doesn't seem like a great PSU to me either, would get it changed for a better one if you can do so at this point.
