So after a couple of blue screens of death my Pc has given up. It's powering up but won't display so rip mobo. Since my motherboard, cpu and ram were old I decided to do an upgrade. I was thinking about the msi bazooka mobo, ryzen 5(havent decided which one yet) cpu and 8gb of corsair essential ram. I want opinions about the build and I would really appreciate other recommendations. Thank you in advance.

Very tight budget, and not being able to use pcpartpicker doesn't help

 

I've checked this site, https://www.e-shop.gr no clue if it's any good, and this is what I've come up with:

ASUS PRIME B350M-K 78.99€

CPU AMD RYZEN 5 1400 3.40GHZ 147.89€

RAM G.SKILL F4-2400C15D-8GIS 8GB (2X4GB) KIT DDR4 2400MHZ 92.30€

 

Total comes out at: 319.18 €

 

It feels a bit like an anemic system, though; and if gaming is your primary use case, you might be better off buying the i3 8100 which they have listed for 117 € with an ASUS PRIME B360M-A priced at 92€; toss in the same RAM and it comes out at 301.30 €

Thank you very much for your time and effort. E-shop is one of the main electronic digital shops in my country. I prefer (Skroutz) but the prices don't differ a lot. What do you mean by anemic?

I mean that it's the lowest end possible Ryzen system tied to very basic entry level RAM, and RAM speeds affect Ryzen greatly.

At this budget level and with gaming being the primary focus, I'd definitely recommend the 8100. It's also bottom of the barrel, but should give you a better, more fluid gaming experience.

Oh OK thank you very much. I'll take that into consideration.
