F. that.

 

80$ + 20$ off when buying with MB Ryzen 1600

 

55$ Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H or

63$ Gigabyte B450M DS3H  link

 

30$ 8 GB 3000 Mhz DDR4 (yeah one stick, buy another later ) : link

or

50$ 16 GB 3000 Mhz DDR4 (2x8) : link

 

= $165 ..185$ (+$8 if 2nd mb chosen) , then take 20$ off for buying cpu+mb combo

 

If you absolutely have to get a video card from microCenter for 35-40$

Or go to evga b-stock page and get a card for 25-30$ ,for example: https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=02G-P3-2717-RX

But you can probably get from eBay, Craigslist / Facebook ads / whatever a card for 15-20$

 

2200g and 3200g don't have 20$ off and they're only 4 cores, low performance.

1600 is 6 core / 12 threads and you get 20$ discount

If you don't want to stress about video card, 2400g is 115$ and with 20$ discount... so basically you pay 35$ for the integrated graphics, about as much as separate video card.

Would a 2600 be Overkill? Her current PC has a cheap pos gpu. Or would that be a waste?

I think I just ordered that exact $50 ram kit. Good suggestions. I think her old PC has a cheap ati card actually
