Faster ram or B350 Motherboard for Ryzen 3 2200g?

soheilsarhangzadeh · Oct 3, 2018

Hi, so I am struggling to choose between 2 options for my 300 euro build:

Ryzen 3 2200g + 8gb DDR4 2666mhz
or Ryzen 3 2200g + the cheapest B350 mobo to overclock (with stock cooler) + 8gb DDR4 2400

Which one would give better better performance for Overwatch?

If you currently have a computer I would try to save and get a decent setup. You want RAM as fast as 3200mhz, the closer to that the better. The 2200g GPU can be overclocked and,gives a very good boost. The RAM is A MUCH BIGGER DEAL with an APU because the GPU is also using it for VRAM purposes.

which country? total budget on all components is 300 euros? If not, what components do you already own?

Ryzen 3 2200g + 8gb DDR4 3000mhz.
Still http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3479320/ram-work-mobo.html
As far as I remember 3000 ram is same price and sometimes even cheaper than 2666 (after rebates, or other promotions)
if you don't buy now, black friday is the day for you. You might grab ram/mobo for half price. Still it depends how much time you have.

Thamks for the quick answers. I do not own any parts yet, I'm still choosing the parts. Also iI forgot that i just found a deal dor the Ryzen 3 2200g+ Msi A320m grenade for 146 euro: https://www.csl-computer.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=15017&cPath=61_68 , making the 2666 mhz ram a more tempting deal.

Great, so will overclocking the gpu be more beneficial than buying 2666mhz ram?

vapour · Oct 3, 2018

Hard to say, ideally is getting 2666 ram too.

soheilsarhangzadeh · Oct 3, 2018

bmockeg :

So you would suggest dropping the B350 mobo and get the faster ram? P.S. I dont have any componnents now.

bmockeg · Oct 3, 2018

I would wait till you can,afford both

soheilsarhangzadeh · Oct 4, 2018

vapour :

I see, but that is over my budget. Which one would you pick?

bmockeg · Oct 4, 2018

If the fastest RAM you can get is only 2666 then get the b350 motherboard. You can always add faster RAM later

soheilsarhangzadeh :

Bxxx chipset then.
