New PC - Any good?

[HarryS99]

Hi!

Here's my new planned computer:

 

CPU:             AMD Ryzen 3 3200G

RAM:            Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB

MOBO:         MSI B450M PRO-M2 MAX

SSD:             WD Blue 500GB

PSU:             Corsair CV Series 450W

Case:            Antec VSK 4000B-U3 Black

WIFI Card:    TP-LINK TL-WN881ND

Keyboard/Mouse: Gigabyte KM6300

Monitor:          AOC 24B2XH Frameless IPS

OS:              Microsoft Windows 10 Home

What does everyone think about it? Is it any good? 

I'm not looking for a graphics card yet, the APU will do fine for now!

Need more info about the memory kit and budget. That board's weak.for holding CPU upgrades

Seems decent for a cheap machine. Also I really hope you aren't planning to spend $100 for Windows in such a cheap computer. Buy a $10 key on eBay and use the extra $100 to buy a 3400g.

Thanks!

Ngl, I am a little wary haha - I've heard of people getting ripped from the keys. If it's only $10, it could totally be worth the risk tho!

The Ram is @ 3200 MHz, so mid range-ish. Budget is just under 700 USD

2x8gb?

 

My math on PC parts:

3200G: 100

Board: 60

RAM: 70

SSD: 70

PSU: 40

Monitor: 150 (overpriced one btw)

Wifi adapter: 20

Case: 30 (and quite bad I should add, for airflow and cable management)

 

So you're spending $150 roughly for Windows and keyboard + mouse? Definitely dont pay $100 for Microsoft then.

imo for 700 USD you could get a dGPU machine

 

lemme make a list

That's crazy good! Yeah, I'm definitely going to have to take a look into this hahaha. Previously, it never even really crossed my mind - I was thinking it was wayyy more common to get smacked around by people keeping the keys. You guys just potentially saved me like $90 - cheers!  @BlueScope819@bmx6454

Yup, it's 2x8!
Yeah, looking at the other replies, it's probably a good idea to get a key off eBay. Will probably put that into a better case now haha

Just under $700 total budget? Can you return anything and take pointers/swap things out?

 

You can do a LOT better for $700~

considering your budget of 700$, here you go

NOTES:

1. the motherboard shouldnt cost more than 80$, PCPP has overpriced it here

2. this is a system with an rx580

3. the cpu is overpriced as well, it should cost not more than 105$

4. sorry if the monitor and keyboard&mouse selection is bad

Oh also just one really quick thing that can save you a lot of money, check out the DeskMini A300 from AsRock. It's $150 on Newegg and is a motherboard, wifi card, case, PSU, and cooler that comes all in one really neat tiny package. All you need is some SO-DIMM memory, an SSD, and a CPU and you are off to the races.

This is super interesting! I'll keep that in mind while I'm refining my PC

No, get a better CPU. The difference between the 3200G and the 3400G is quite large, in terms of both core clocks and how good the iGPU is.

I didn't know it was that large haha. Will look into it!!

Sure can! Yeah, I've been getting a few pointers regarding my mobo and OS already. Everyone has been really helpful

Cheers!! Seems like a decent setup! Don't worry about the peripherals, I appreciate the time

Well below max budget, all SSD storage, I have that motherboard, memory and case, so it all works correctly, AND it offers a lot of extra leeway down the road if you care to upgrade.
