Office - entry level gaming 350 build

[Trentonxx]

Hi all,

 

this time around I'm helping a friend building a computer to update his old system. and since I am not skilled on the lower end of the components I have some questions. but first:

 

Budget: 300-350€ (400max if amazon is out of stock and prices are inflated)

Country: Italy (Amazon .it mainly)

Scope: Office use, light retro gaming (pre 2010)

 

PCPartPicker Part List: https://it.pcpartpicker.com/list/gZFzRk

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3200G 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor  (€97.48 @ Amazon Italia)

CPU cooler: *No idea, must consider if PBO will be enabled or not. not sure how 3200g behaves in terms of performance + stock cooler*
Motherboard: ASRock B450M-HDV R4.0 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard  (€71.17 @ Amazon Italia)

GPU: XFX Radeon HD 7770 GHz (0€ owned) ^{not needed?}
Memory: Crucial Ballistix 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory  (€38.99 @ Amazon Italia)

PSU: Corsair VS550 (51€ @Amazon italia)

SSD and HDD already owned from the previous build.
Case: Thermaltake Versa H15 MicroATX Mid Tower Case  (€54.19 @ Amazon Italia)
Total: €310

 

Given the price range I think an IGPU is the best pick, the HD7770 would be a bottleneck otherwise (correct me if I'm wrong)

 

he does not want to Overclock but is it worth it go from a B450 to a x370? the difference in price seems around 10€ and it's better to have an higher quality Motherboard.

+ about the Overclocking. can I enable the XMP profile of the RAM without enabling PBO on the CPU? I don't know if the 3200g acts like the 3600+ family on PBO (high temp spike and noise even on idle)

 

I can go with something cheaper for the RAM if I don't have to use the XMP profile

 

the PSU is on the "Tier E - Potentially dangeorus" on Ambient temp over 30°C what does that mean? what's a good price for a decent PSU that's not a timebomb?

 

the Case he's pretty happy about it and I don't think it matter much

The 7770 would be an upgrade over Vega 8, so i'd include it in the build.

 

Thats a grey label VS, not orange. They are fine, "C Tier" units. Perfect use case for them as your system consumes a very little amount of power. The old orange label VS units were bombs.
