That is not a good pairing.

Thanks this really seems helpful, but only problem is that I'm too familiar with AMD if this could be swap with a good intel chip for that is what I'm most comfortable with

You know Ryzen is not old AMD right? And that the 8100 build allready has issues with performance?

 

Ryzen is the way to go for you. Without it you are essentially shooting yourself in the foot

 

Edit: AMD has been on the roll for the past 2 years now if you havent been keeping up with Ryzen.
