Upgrading

[Muffin.]

Hello!

So I have a pretty old pc and when I'm playing FiveM, my processor can't handle the server resources, it runs at 100% almost all the time, so I wanted to upgrade my pc a little bit(not willing to spend much $). GPU I guess is pretty ok for me - MSi GTX 750Ti/OC 2GB.

So I just ordered:

• AMD Ryzen 3 1200 (Old one : AMD Athlon X4 860K)
• Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB 2400MHz (1 stick)
• MSI A320M PRO-E

and I started wondering about the ram... I got 1x8gb and I was thinking if it would make ANY problems with the pc - like lower fps than if I had 2x4.

That's a fair concern. I would pop another stick in there, and overclock the Ram, if you get the chance

2400mhz is a little slow for Ryzen and it's always good when building a new PC to get a 2 stick kit of ram, Dual channel is much better than single channel. Might of been a good idea to get a cheaper B450 motherboard as well, that way you could upgrade to one of the newer ryzen chips or a 2000 series chip in the future without having to replace the motherboard.

avoid A320, even cheap B350 and B450 boards are much much better.

How about ASROCK B450M-HDV or Gigabyte B450M S2H?

[Muffin.]

So what do you guys say about the 

• Same Ryzen 3 1200
• Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 4GB 2666MHz (2 sticks)
• Gigabyte B450M S2H

This seems better, right?

I live in Latvia btw.

I dont know if Amazon.de ships to Latvia but if you give me a retailer that does I can see if I can find better prices, pretty sure the B450m S2H is the same as the DS3H if not the DS3H is the way to go I've used it for a few budget builds and never had an issue, also depending on the price difference go for 3000mhz ram.

 

*edit* changed partpicker list to Euros instead of Pounds because I'm dumb.

In the shop I provided earlier(my country's shop) the 

• ASROCK B450M-HDV is for 55€,
• the GIGABYTE B450M S2H is for 57€
• GIGABYTE B450M DS3H(the one you provided) is for 68€

So would I be good with the asrock, or I should rather get the DS3H for 68€?
