Need help picking good parts!

[SacredXV]

So I’m new to this whole PC MasterRace, I’ve been trying to build my first ever gaming pc and I need some professional help, I have a GEFORCE GTX NVIDIA 1050 2gb, a hyperX 8gig Ram, EVGA 500w 80+ power supply and a Rosewill Micro ATX case. I’m trying to game over medium settings and play games like overwatch at high to ultra settings and other games at least high settings too. Can anyone help recommend a processor and motherboard for me? I was thinking maybe an AMD Ryzen 3 1200 but I’m not sure what you guys think? Teach me the ways!

What's your budget?

Dont bother with Ryzen 1200 or 1300 just buy the 1600 or 2400G

$100-200 for now  I’m low on budget.. doesn’t have to be the best but good enough to play games at high settings

The Ryzen 3 2200G is better than the Ryzen 3 1200 and the same as the Ryzen 3 1300x, and it's only 100 bucks, and includes decent integrated graphics (much better than Intel's) in case something goes wrong with your GTX 1050.

so you need a mobo and cpu

look on ebay for mobo + cpu combos!

https://www.ebay.com/b/Computer-Motherboard-CPU-Combos/131511/bn_661885

$135 i3 4th gen with mobo

 

 

Otherwise I'd show you a refurbished computer with an i5 4th gen for $200

 

Refurbished: HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF i5-4570 3.20GHz 4GB 160GB Win 7 Pro 1 Yr Wty $174^.99

^{its needs a bit extra ram and a bit more hdd space}

Do you mean for the whole system, or the MOBO-CPU?

Oh! That makes things really easy. That's not a bad budget for that combo.

They're basically the same, spec and performance wise, and the 2200G is 20 bucks less. And, like I said, the integrated graphics can keep him afloat if anything ever goes wrong with his GPU. Small chance, but a nice-to-have.
