Will my motherboard support Ryzen 5 5600G Processor?

[Rafeeqalmas]

Hi All. I need your help in taking a decision to upgrade my PC. The current config is ASUS ROG Strix b350-f, Ryzen 1600, R7 260 2GB Graphic card, Crucial 8gb(2400) x 1 DDR4 Ram, Cooler Master 500 Watts. I'm looking to upgrade my processor and graphic card to Ryzen 5 5600G and Radeon RX 6400. Will my motherboard support this new processor? Will there be any performance/compatibility issue? 

I have checked the Asus site as well and mentions it will support this processor (refer screenshot), but the shop person says mobo will face some performance issue. It's fine for me if the performance loss is less as I'm not going to do any heavy duty task. It's been used mostly for games but occasionally.

 

Please share your opinion on this whether using Ryzen 5 5600G and Radeon RX 6400 in my old ASUS ROG Strix b350-f motherboard won't cause any issue?

My budget is very limited not and can't increase it. Thats why I'm opting for them swap. Looking forward for your opinions.

Update the BIOS and go. It will work fine. I just put a 5600X in my previous B350-F for my friend's new-to-him machine and it's fine.

It will work, but there's no need for you to get a G procesor if you're going to use a discrete graphics card or you don't need such a low end GPU if you're going to use a G cpu.

But for such a low end card you don't a new CPU, the 1600 is fine.

 

I would recommend you to list the parts you have, everything, and then the budget you have. We might find you better upgrades.

Thanks for you reply. Below are parts i'm using now:
CPU - Ryzen 5 1600
Motherboard - Asus B350 F Gaming
RAM - Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GBx1 DDR4 2400Mhz
GPU - AMD R7 260 2gb
Case - Cooler Master MasterBox 5
Storage - WD Blue 1TB
PSU - Cooler Master MasterWatt lite 500w
Display - LG 22MP68VQ
Cooling - Stock cooler (AMD Wraith Cooler)

 

The reason I'm going for this 2 mentioned parts is, it's comes under my budget. 5600G cost Rs 11450 and RX6400 cost Rs 11400. 

Note: I'm from India and my budget is 25k for this partial upgrade. This is max I can spend. Only reason I want to upgrade is play a lag free game. I'm not a hardcore gamer and all.

the rx 6400 gets heavily bottlenecked from pcie gen 3 so I'd go with an rx 580

1 stick of ram is pretty bad

With my b350f I went from  1700 to 5600

5600 is better than 5600G in cache

Just update bios before switching

 

Nothing below 5700 performancewise should be bottlenecking a 1600

Yep. I know. I'm going to add one more 8gb stick now with this upgrade. Thanks for your suggestion.

Are you saying, RX580 will perform better than RX 6400? Isn't RX580 older card? Sorry for the silly question.

Yes it will

doesn't matter. Its still better. And it has double the vram

This is the rx 590 but their not too different

What the person in the computer shop is probably referring to is that your RAM is rather slow compared to what is intended to be used with a Ryzen 5000 series. So it will be held back a bit, but honestly it's not a huge deal if you're on a budget. I run a Ryzen7 5800x with 2400 RAM on a B350 and it's fine, it was a really noticeable upgrade from my old Ryzen7 1700. But I have a 2060 Super so I was better able to realize that power, maybe in your case it would be better to get a weaker CPU and a better GPU.

You need additional RAM. You need a better GPU. And you need an SSD to have your OS and programs and games on.

But update your Bios first.

 

If you can find it, a Radeon 580X is a good buy.

I would not look at the 6400 and 6500 Radeons, at least the 6600 or 6600M. But, if you're looking at used parts - the RX 5500XT and 5600XT are great options too.

Also, the Radeons RX 470, 480, 570, 580, 580X, 590. And especially the 8GB versions.

 

For a GPU like that, you don't need to upgrade the CPU. It's good enough.

But if you want, a Ryzen 5 3600, 3600X, 3600XT, 4500, 5500 or 5600. Does not need to be a G chip if you're using a graphics card.

So What if I just upgrade my GPU to RX6600 and add a SSD for now and use for couple of years and later will change the whole system except GPU. Will my current CPU Ryzen 1600 cause any bottleneck If I add RX6600?

It shouldn’t bottleneck it too much

It's going to bottleneck, but you'd still have better performance than a stronger CPU and a 6400 or 6500.

Thank you all for your support. Special thanks to @Filpo and @191x7

well not the 6400 as already brought up, That card is just an awful match with any older platform due to its OEM/laptop focused design not intended to be used on older boards.
