PC for a friend (already solved)

I have a simple question. The background is, that i want to recommend a PC for a friend, but i dont want to recommend him any scalped/overpriced GPU, so i thought, it might be a good idea to use one of the ryzen 7, shown in this one LTT video, having an APU (something like a Ryzen 7 Pro, 4750G for around 410€ in Germany), he would use this APU for now. But this CPU does not exist on PC Part Picker, so i have no idea, what boards it is compatible with. Can you recommend something? I think a Price of a 80€-100€ (buying from Germany) would be suitable. If you have no good idea on wich mainboard i should use, a recommendation for a chipset would be great as well.

 

Thanks for all the answers

 

Edit: I am going to look for a Ryzen 5000 with an APU, once they come out

It probably doesn't show up in PCpartpicker because it's supposed to be OEM only. Same for the new 5600G, 5700G, and 5800G APU's. But AMD just announced yesterday those will be available at retail within a couple of months. I would wait and pick up one of those. They should be compatible with any 500-series chipset (A520, B550, X570) motherboard. 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

 

Ryzen 7 5800X3D | ASRock X570 PG Velocita | PowerColor Red Devil RX 6900 XT | 4x8GB Crucial Ballistix 3600mt/s CL16

AMD is releasing some new APUs that are pretty tempting.

 

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.
