Thanks

The standard DDR4 speed is 2133Mhz, Zen supports 2667Mhz memory, anything above is an overclock speed.

So you start up the PC, the memory works at 2133Mhz, you turn on the proper memory profile and it runs at 2933Mhz (the closest speed to 3000 it supports) and boom you're done.

 

Other than that, I am not sure how the Zen 2 performance is, so I don't know how competitive the 3200G is for example.

Other than that, I would recommend the MX500 by Crucial over de Kingston and I would not recommend a USB 2.0 wireless adapter nowadays. Especially not if it claims to be AC.. that just doesn't add up.

 

IMO if you need a WiFi card, get a PCIe card.

Ok, Thank you! Sorry, im new to this, but if I used this ram and didn't change any settings, would it work?

 

ALSO, you're saying this build would work, but I could just upgrade some parts? like to a better none-USB wifi card and different SSD?

Yes what he is saying is that your build will work perfectly fine however he recommends a PCIE wifi card and different SSD as they will be better.

 

But yes your current build should work

Yea no problem, i spent hours researching making sure i didn't screw anything up for my first pc build but it was very rewarding when it was finally done

why would u want to waste a PCIe slot on pointless wifi card. ITS A STATIONARY PC it doesn't belong moving hence ethernet seriously wtf??

Googling the item number reveils its actually USB3. USB2 would indeed not make much sense.

Also for about the same price of both the HDD and the SSD you can get a reasonably good SSD thats about 1TB. I would suggest looking into that too. (unless you want really long-term storage)

Yes. But I would still recommend changing that setting. It only takes a second to do so and improves stability of FPS on Ryzen systems.

Basically.

As I said, I don't know how the Ryzen 3200G performance is though.. Just watching a benchmark video, it seems like you only get a couple more fps.

Maybe a build like this would work out better:

Different SSD, different RAM, but very similar overall. I'm assuming you have a 400 USD budget? Because that's probably the best you can do for the price.

I agree, it's a PC.. just run a cable to it, but sometimes people don't want to/can't do that so I at least wanted to suggest what to look for in a card.

Also.. 'waste' a PCIe slot? Other than GPU's, what do people use PCIe slots for? The only point that could be made is M.2 PCIE SSD's, which take up some PCI lanes.

While many new homes have Ethernet routed alongside electrical, folks with homes built before the 90's (like mine) are often confronted with this dilemma:

1. Tear open the walls to route Ethernet cables and ports throughout the house. Time & Money = $$$$$. Aesthetics = 10/10
2. Route Ethernet cables externally and pin them to the exterior of walls. Time & Money = $$$. Aesthetics = 1/10 (In my case, I cannot hide the cables well since it would have to be routed from downstairs to the upstairs rooms).
3. Use Wi-Fi which is ubiquitous, cheap, and easy to setup. Time & Money = $. Aesthetics = 10/10
4. Use Wi-Fi and MoCA, if coaxial wiring exists in desired places. Best of both worlds. Time & Money = $$. Aesthetics = 9/10 (additional cable management)
