Why in the world do you need Ryzen 3 wwooG if you're buying a external GPU!

(Excuse me for sounding wierd but I've seriously lost it)

If you can afford a 1650, why do you need to buy an APU. What you are doing is essentially disabling the graphics power you've paid for. Buy a better CPU to pair with the 1650, mostly a 6 core chip.

I would highly recommend an air cooler instead of a single fan radiator. The air cooler would outperform that AIO in every scenario. It would be good for overclocking too (You might need to overclock the Ryzen 3 2200G graphics)

I'd actually recommend not getting the cooler at all. For the price you're spending on the CPU and the liquid cooler (which is way overkill for the CPU you're getting) you could get a much better CPU like the Ryzen 7 2700 or Ryzen 5 3600. That would perform better than the CPU you were getting even without overclocking, and you could use the stock cooler perfectly fine and upgrade later if you wanted to get into overclocking.

Well done brother, I have the same configuration and this is enough for moderate gaming!

Save money on the CPU cooler and get the 1600af.  Also, no need to OC the 2200G graphics as he has a dedicated GPU.

I've updated my comment. I didn't saw the GTX 1650 earlier

Though a single fan rad cannot outperform a decent air cooler.

Yes, but without overclocking it should hold up fine for moderate gaming. He can always upgrade in the future or go ahead and get one now if he feels like it's in the budget. I just don't see a reason to justify spending $80 on a cooler for a $100 CPU when you could use the extra money you're spending on the cooler to get a much better CPU.

Get an SSD in there, also don't think u'll need 16gb with this setup unless u plan on upgrading later on

Can you link us the PC Part Picker link, so prices are included, etc?  What is your total budget and where are you buying from?

 

Get an SSD, but also that PSU isn't all that good.  I'd get something better, like at least Tier B on this list...
