Corsair CX Series CX550M

HyperX Predator 8GB DDR4-3200MHz

AMD Ryzen 3 2200G Box

Asus Prime B350m E

A list of what I think will make a descent everyday pc for work or light gaming

Your opinion?

Thank you

Not bad, that will be a good system. But only get that PSU if it is cheap, otherwise look at the 450W Corsair CX or CXM units, as 550W is overkill, in the US the 550W unit is only $6 more. I would also get a B450 motherboard, and get a smaller case. I know you are located outside of the US but a build like this would be good.

Be careful with motherboard selection if you plan to overclock the GPU on the 2200G. You want to make sure the SOC VRM is properly cooled. Cheap b450 motherboards are notorious for bad SOC VRM components and cooling. If you overclock the 2200G's GPU on a basic no heatsink b450 board the SOC VRM is going to easily get to and/or blow past 100 degrees Celsius and die in a year or so of heavy use.

 

If you don't overclock you're probably ok with a board that has crappy components, but at least get a motherboard with a heatsink on the VRM and SOC VRM.

Why not something like a B450M Mortar or a B450M Pro4? They're pretty okay boards and are pretty good for OCing (although the Pro4 has a slightly worse VRM).

B450M Mortar was out of stock when I made the list (it is the best mATX b450 board) and I don't know much about the b450 Pro4. AsRock clearly made better b350 generation boards than most of the competition, but MSI really stepped up their game for b450. Do you know much about the b450 Pro4 and can help explain why it's better than the MSI b450 Gaming Plus?

The Pro4 has an alright VRM from what I know (although slightly worse than the Mortar) and a better BIOS than the trash that is MSI's BIOS (I'm only recommending the Mortar board because it's the best B450 one for overclocking and features, otherwise I'd stay away from MSI really).

I'm not saying MSI BIOS is good, but I've heard MSI's trash BIOS is slightly better than AsRock's trash BIOS. AsRock is better for memory overclocking, but MSI is better generically for overclocking non-X CPUs (non-X specifically because MSI boards don't support negative core voltage offset and Precision Boost Overdrive likes to throw a lot of voltage at the CPU). The MSI board should be fine with a static all core overclock. Is this wrong? Does AsRock have an advantage overclocking the 2200G's GPU than MSI?

 

Also, I know the mortar has the best VRM situation among mATX boards, but do you really think it's better than comparably priced competent ATX counterparts? I don't think it does.

Honestly I would change the motherboard from the b450 gaming plus to a b450 tomahawk in the list above. The Tomahawk is just a little bit more expensive. MSI has bad APUU support, but it does exist.

 

If it's available get the ASUS TUF PRO-Gaming motherboard. The Pro is important. The non-PRO b450 TUF series is trash. ASUS has a better BIOS than either MSI or AsRock and the TUF PRO-Gaming has a decent enough VRM for four core APUs and a competent SOC VRM.
