So I've been watching LTT for about 5 months now and doing so has gotten me liking pc gaming over console gaming. I also have wanted to build my own pc and have a few parts. My teacher (who is kinda gamery) was kind enough to give me his old pc case and graphics card. The case is a thermaltake s31 and the graphics card is an msi twin frozr III r7850. I recently bought an amd ryzen 5 2400g quad core with vega graphics on. Idk whether I should include the old dedicated graphics card in my build or if the vega graphics on the cpu is the better bet.

The HD 7850 will give you performance along the lines of a GTX 750 Ti. The R5 2400G will give you performance more along the lines of a GTX 750. It's not night and day, but the 7850 is clearly better than the Vega 11 in the 2400G. If you have a PSU with a PCI-E connector on it, I'd go with the 7850.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

which one is better depends on your memory, fast memory = Vega 11 and HD 7850 performs equally, in which you might as well use the iGPU and save some power. Otherwise, use the card.
