The Graphics card is integrated to the CPU.
Any DDR4 memory will do. And as mentioned, fast RAM is good for Ryzen. The only reason my build had 2400MHz was that faster would have taken it slightly over budget. Also get dual channel, aka 2 sticks over one.

Although that motherboard "technically" supports that FX8350, it's not good enough to run it at stock speeds.

You could do better for your money.

Do you really need a disc drive and wifi adapter?
You definitely don't need a sound card.

The cpu and motherboard are a bad combo, prone to VRM throttling. 4gb of ram is not going to cut it in new games and game like GTA V it will stutter to the point of being unplayable. The Gt 710 is a very poor gaming gpu and is weaker than the last few generations of igpus. You can drop the sound card as it is no better than most onboard solutions.

Some coolers will come with it, and honestly, the stock stuff is not the worst that's ever existed. It's all I've ever used and I've never had heating problems directly linked to it.

What kind of motherboard do you suggest i'd get? But i watch recent videos on how the fx8350 was really good for its price. That's where the motherboard and video cards come in which im not sure what good cheap ones are.

Man I just really really really can't recommend any FX cpu anymore. $58 seems like a decent price but you'll end up overpaying for a motherboard for it, and the whole platform is ancient by now. I looked and there are no motherboards that I would recommend for it for sale at any major retailer.


The build Finstar linked you is pretty decent for that price and is far better than the build that you linked originally.

At your budget, I recommend you stick to apus. That would at least get you on an up to date platform so you could upgrade later easily if you want.

And do you REALLY need wifi on a desktop? Can you not just use the ethernet port? If you really want wifi, keep that adapter in your parts.

For gaming it was getting beat by dual core quad threaded Pentiums. It's an old arch that was behind the times when it was new. a Ryzen quad core is easily a better gaming cpu and has upgrade potential where the old FX does not.

The system Finster posted is a better option out of the gate(better cpu and better gpu) and has an upgrade path that makes sense. The only thing I'd change on Finsters build is faster ram(ddr4 3000 or 3200) as Ryzen cpus performs better with faster ram and the igpu will also perform better with faster ram.

Even 400 would be ok, but if you want more future upgradeability then go for 500-600 watts.
