Cooler master masterbox 5 lite case

Asrock ab350 gaming k4 mobo

Amd ryzen 3 2200g APU

Toshiba p300 3TB HDD

Girl evo potenza 8GB 2x4GB DDR4 RAM

PowerSpec 650W 80A semi modular PSU

 

Its my first build and the only computer my brother has put together from scratch. I'm definitely getting a graphics card in a month or 2. I'll be using it to do some low res(settings wise) gaming until then. So like the title says "What do you guys think?".

Looks good. Two things to keep in mind are that faster RAM is important for APU's, so get the fastest RAM you can get (while still keeping it Dual slot).

Also make sure that the bios is updated before the motherboard is send to you. Contact the store to ask them if they do that, otherwise it might be possible that your cpu won't work on the motherboard out of the box.

Please use pcpartpicker.com if possible.

 

Other than that, you definitely don't need 650 watts, not even close. I would have gone for a more reputable brand psu in the 500W-ish range if you're going to add a graphics card (although that's a bit of a waste of APU). I would also add an SSD as soon as possible, the difference is night and day.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
