Looks ok but, get the Ryzen 3 1200- it's cheaper+ you can overclock on your Mobo up to 1300X speeds. The rest of the build looks good, but i'd also invest in some higher clocked RAM (3000 mhz?)

I can overclock the 1200 on the stock cooler, right?

Sure, just don't do anything crazy. If you get thew 1200, you won't sacrifice much and have enough money for faster ram, which we all know, works best with ryzen.

Don't go with the 1300x....get a 2400g

Here's a build I've built fr u considering ur budget-

 

[PCPartPicker part list](https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/zy3Lr6) / [Price breakdown by merchant](https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/zy3Lr6/by_merchant/)

 

**CPU** | [AMD - Ryzen 5 2400G 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor](https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/FGPKHx/amd-ryzen-5-2400g-36ghz-quad-core-processor-yd2400c5fbbox) | €161.59 @ Alza

 | *Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts* |
 | **Total** | **€604.13**
 | Generated by [PCPartPicker](http://pcpartpicker.com) 

 

Reason fr selecting these parts-

Chose 2400g over 1300x because of it's better clock speed nd better igpu. mind u..the integrated graphics of 2400g is strong enough to run any game at 1080p low-medium settings.

Fr ram, I went with the faster memory. Ryzen systems r faster if it has faster dual channel memory.

I myself don't prefer MSI fr motherboards coz they HV low quality caps nd VRMs. Asus is pretty good in making motherboards.

Also ditched the SSD nd HDD nd went with a 2 tb Seagate firecuda hybrid SSHD. it is a mix of SSD nd HDD...so u can get best of both the worlds.

This build is about €600 which means u HV €400 headroom fr a decent gpu.

Current gpu prices r way too high. I woul recommend u to buy something used like a GTX 970/980/980ti/780ti. They would provide excellent price to performance in ur case.

Why? No gpu??? The vega integrated gpu is weak, worse than the GT1030. 2400G, while being a better processor he will see little to no difference in gaming with this cpu. The motherboard, it quite overpriced. I agree that their MSI is not the prime choice, but for a budget rig I would not pick a strix product. And, SSHD's aren't worth it. No matter the caliber of the build, it should have at least a 120GB fully-fledged SSD.

[VEXICUS]

I HV written above to get a used 970/980/980ti/780ti....

I HV not included any because of their out of world prices.

Above mentioned build is of €600

So U hv €400 fr getting a decent gpu

980ti go around fr €220-250

Use the rest Money to get an SSD nd switch that firecuda with WD blue if needed.

I do understand. And I agree with the 970/980 part. But getting a strix mobo and R5 2400G isn't really sensible. He's better off with a cheaper mobo and a first gen ryzen.

I never recommend Mai or asrock boards

Well, Asrock is decent, I used to outift budget rigs with them, and I did not have any failed yet, but MSI, isn;t that great so I agree. A budget B350 from asus would be enough though.

[VEXICUS]

Well i m a professional PC builder....nd I never compromise on mobos

Nd yeah... cheaper mobo can be used

I agree, noone should use a 50$ mobo. Asus does em' best, but something like this is good enough:

Why suggest the R5 2400G when the R5 1400 is cheaper ? Even the superior R5 1600 is only another 17 Euros. It makes no sense to buy an APU when you already have a dedicated gpu.

[VEXICUS]

Well 2400g is still superior than something like 1500x

Why is it ? The 1500X is a 4 core 8 thread cpu same as the 2400G. Only real difference is integrated graphics.

[VEXICUS]

U can check the benchmarks

[Guest]

Just now, vexicus365 said:

I don't need to. Like I said above, the R5 1600 is only 17 Euros more for 6 core 12 threads. That is a much better buy.

[VEXICUS]

1600 can be doable

Most builds I see use an MSI mobo and the MSI mobo's fit my theme well. Also, the mobo you adviced me doesnt do well on pcpartpicker....

Well, believe me, community reputation isn't really the truth very often. Please, if you don't like the style, just pick a different asus or gigabyte motherboard, the price permium will pay off in the long run
