I am new to the whole PC everything, I used to believe that a Macbook Air was a powerful computer ( Drank Apple's Tea)  Anyways I want to build my very first PC for gaming Mainly,

I mostly only play Warzone & the Occasional RDR 2. My Budget is as Small as possible! & i'm not looking to get 240 FPS. I'd love to be able to play at 120 FPS at Decent Grapics as for I own a LG Ultragear 1080p 144hz Monitor.

I would love to stay under $400 USD if at all possible not looking for RGB nothing fancy this will be hidden (well ventilated) I own 16 Gbs of DDR4 (3000Mz) Vengeance Pro (bought almost a year ago for "Work") I need Help with a decent Mother board that will allow me to upgrade down the line to a better CPU and graphics card. Thank You All!

 

 

P.S trying to build it to get my hand on and in the pudding, not buy a Dell Optiplex, Stick a GPU and call it a day. Also I am in the USA! Prices in USD Please!

You're asking too much for $400 USD, you're not going to be able to get a GPU,  You're not going to be getting 120FPS in Warzone, because that's quite a demanding game and you'll probably see 30-40 FPS on the iGPU, and probably the same thing with RDR2, which is quite unoptimised.

Here's what I have for you:

But at this price point you're absolutely going to get a better experience with a Dell and a GPU, but I do know you don't want to do that

That's why i'm here to get help, I figured $400 would not be enough. what do you think adding a GPU to this set up bring me in FPS. Thank You for the Speedy Response!

Well, with the 3200G I probably wouldn't pair it with anything better than an RTX2060. The integrated graphics in the 3200G is great, but it is a huge bottleneck to the 3200G's performance. You're going to see a huge FPS increase in all games with a GPU. How much do you want to raise the budget?

$650 USD would be my cap.
