You might want a 3100 instead of a 1600AF, it has better gaming performance. But they're both fine for 1080p gaming with that GPU.

Ah. Ok.

I vote the above - 3100 instead of 1600 AF - you get PCIe 4.0 support, Zen 2 7nm goodness, and you don't have a CPU that some people may interpret as swearing.

For that budget PCIe 4 doesn't really matter.

 

Also, where is the elephant?

no. All crusaders do is drown in river on way to holy land or get sold into slavery.

Plagiarism alert! You didn't credit Martin Luther!

Those words were inspired by God, so you don't need to quote him.
