Should I Build This?

[Smude]

I've put together this build and I will soon be putting it together, I was wondering if I'm making some fatal mistake. Also, I realized that the Motherboard only has 2 ram slots if you know any Motherboards for the same or close to the same price please let me know. 

 

Ps. I'm In Canada.

No need to bog yourself down with a mere quad core. Why not grab a Ryzen. 5 2600 and a B450 motherboard?

I don't really want to pay 225$ I really don't play that many CPU demanding games.

Oh the Canadian price threw me off. $150 USD is $10 less than the Ryzen 5.

I would get a r3 1200 or a 2200g instead. They can be easily overclocked and are cheaper than the i3. They also are on a platform that will be supported longer and has many avaible cpus that you can choose to upgrade to later on.

Sorry, quick question. Does that mean that AMD will allow for older motherboards to support more modern CPUs down the line?

The am4 motherboards support ryzen 1 and 2 cpus and will also support ryzen 3 cpus and might support ryzen 4 as well. They said they would support the AM4 platform with new cpus until 2020. With Intel you would be limited to 8th gen and 9th gen cpus in all likelihood.

Thanks! I think you might've convinced me to go with an AMD based system.

Why get a r3 when its gaming and muli-tasking performance is worse and the 2200g only have 8 cpu pci-e lanes

Because by in a few I'd rather not have to change my motherboard to try and keep up with the new CPU tech.

What games do you play anything with your new pc?

The most demanding game I'd be playing with it is probably Forza Horizon 4 I'm not playing 4k and probably max 75hz. I think Forza is heavier on the GPU though.

Because the r3 1200 can overclock to 3.9ghz with little effort and match the performance of the i3 while also being on a longer lasting platform.

Just because they match clock speeds doesn't mean it performs the same. Have you seen some benchmarks sir about r3 1200 and i3 8100. You clearly don't know what you are talking about

The 8100 is 3.6 ghz while the 1200 is 3.9 ghz if you overclock it. If you have seen benchmarks with the 2 cpus paired with a 1060 you would know there is basically 0 difference. It seems like you are the one who clearly doesn't know what they are talking about.
