Using an APU with dedicated graphics card
23 minutes ago, kev0 said:This is my part list so far and I’ve started to read about the usage of APUs and dedicated graphics cards. This is starting to make me think twice about buying an APU such as the Ryzen 3 3200g to use with the RX 570. Would like help with picking a new processor if using an APU is not a good choice.
For that price, that's a great build with a very easy upgrade path down the line. That motherboard supports a variety of upgrade options at CPU if you want to down the line. You can always find a second stick of the same RAM to add dual channel. I'd really try to add a small SSD to the build, just as a boot drive for Windows and other programs. it'll make your overall experience a bit smoother.
As for the APU, it's been said, but you don't NEED to use its integrated graphics. It is great to have though if you ever need to trouble shoot your graphics card.
