Just hoping for some suggestions of what I could do with older pc parts I have collecting dust
parts I have spare:
I7 4790k + M/B
16GB of ram
XFX r9 380
I say ryzen 5 if you can afford it and ryzen 3 obviously if you cant, I have a ryzen 1200 in my second pc and I find it great for what i use it for which is lite gaming(csgo), work(mostly excel), and browsing the internet
when I built my ryzen pc
i used ryzen 3 and 2666mhz ram but when i checked the bios it was running at 2133mhz so i just assumed i had to input the number myself
(not sure if this is the same but it may help)
