I'm putting together a build list. My problem is that trying to save some money and to convince the wife. I'm going with an integrated graphics on the CPU. Looking strongly at the ryzen 3200g. The motherboard has a 4 channel setup and I'm tryi g to figure out the best ram set up. 4×8g or 2x16g. Any advice is great.

 

Im using pc part picker website. Build is

Why would you get 32GB of RAM and stick with integrated graphics?

  • You don't need thermal compound
  • Do you have additional storage? 120GB will be used up by the OS
  • I wouldn't get that case. There are much better options1
  • In order to get any kind of appropriate help, you're going to have to tell us what you plan to use the system for

I have a couple 1T hdd so strage isnt an issue. The case is is selected so that down the road I can convert it into a nas or just bulk storage. Integrated is just to save some cash. Hardest game im playing right now is the remastered ff8 on steam. Mostly play LOL. 16g ram is cause I was looking into setting a nice chunk of it to the integrated graphics.

I also just used 32g as a base to help with the decision between dual and quad core memory. 16gb prolly what I'll go with.

Made a PC  for my stepdad  with  R3 3200G  B450 board and 16GB ram  and it aint that bad ....

It can be used for light gaming .. CS:GO  runs smooth as silk ~120FPS  

You can only use 2gb of ram for the gpu...

I kept seeing the ability to increase it. I currently have a super crap up all in one with that has Radeon r2 integrated. Just figured I couldnt boost on a rebuild thats basically a low end laptop. I CPU spike and max out the GPU playing ff8 remastered even after a ssd and doubled the ram upgrade.
