Yes, I tend to use all those programs opened at the same time. So, do you think is better to acquire Ryzen 5 2400G than a 7 2700 so i don't have to worry about the VC? I pretend to have this computer for 6-8 years like the current one.

Some people told me that a Ryzen 5 2400G is enough but I still think that a 7 2700 would be excellent because I expect that this new PC last at least 8 years (just like the current one) ... I'm overreacting?

I been thinking about what parts I need for my PC (I don't like to spend money in something that I don't/won't need). I use a lot programs at the same time: IDE, 2 databases, multiple spreadsheets, 2 browsers (multiple tabs), chat/voice calls, email client, remote desktop, and a time tracker; sometimes a graphics editor but for minor stuff. Sometimes I play web games (flash/unity/stencil that i can complete in 15/20 mins when I'm "done for the moment"), YouTube videos, Spotify and some movies (using VLC). I was thinking on Ryzen 5 2600U but, right now, a Ryzen 7 2700, 16 GB of RAM (in the future to 32 GB, maybe 64 GB), and 250 GB SSD is better. As you can read, I don't play AAA games (don't have time for that) so I need a very very very basic video card (VC). I only need to reproduce videos at 60fps in a 1920x1080 screen and play my web games (my current PC suffers trying to do these). What VC do you recommend for a person like me with these needs? I only found recommendations for top notch VCs. Note: To put you in perspective, currently I have an Intel Core 2 Duo with integrated video of 4 GB of RAM (8 years old)... and still works fine (except for videos at 60fps on some web games).

I'm trying to assemble my first computer. I don't need a powerful GPU (I practically don't play games) BUT I need a good amount of cores/multi threading (multiple programs opened). I realize that Ryzen 5 2400G is the best option for me (cheap and powerful enough for at least 4/5 years). Looking for information about what I need to acquire for the best possible performance I realize the that there is a "System Memory Specification: DDR4-2933 dual-channel" (is the same for most Ryzen 3/5/7) But in this page https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/ryzen_5/2400g#Memory_controller, in the memory configuration part, it changes depending on the motherboard (dual channel) and the numbers of ram slots used: Single Rank 2 of 2 DDR4-2933 2 of 4 DDR4-2933 4 of 4 DDR4-2133 Double Rank 2 of 2 DDR4-2667 2 of 4 DDR4-2400 4 of 4 DDR4-1866 So here are the questions: 1) What does "DDR4-2933 dual-channel" really means? That if I buy DDR4-3000 or faster I would not be using them in their full potential? Because i read in some forums that buying DDR4-3200 improves the speed of the system. Is that true or is a "placebo effect"? 2)I know that the CAS latency is important too, and the best way to get "the real" speed of the RAM is dividing the speed/CAS. I found out a cheap ram that runs 2400/10=240 against a 2933/14=209.5 or even a 3000/14=214.3. According to the specification, are you telling me that it won't be able to "squeeze" the 3000 one but it will be able with the 2400 one? How does that makes sense? 3)According to the previous table, does that mean the best speed of the ram would be 2133 if i use all the slots? Then doesn't make sense to buy anything faster than 2133. I'm not gonna use all the slots right now but i plan to expand ram in the future (16 GB to begin with and later 32GB or maybe even 64GB) I really would appreciate your help trying to understand this stuff.
