Does This Budget Build Look Good?

[mayonnaiseblackhole]

So I am building my first computer and have a budget of $400 to $450 and want to use the Ryzen 2200G, a B450 board, and an SSD. I am wondering if this build looked good and if you had any suggestions.

what will you do with it?

[Slottr]

Been told that case sucks, and you'll find yourself running out of 240GB really quickly. If you can spare another 40$ or so and get a WD Blue it would totally be worth it.

Imo id get a b350 mobo, its cheaper

School Work (Web Browsing), light video editing, and light gaming

[bellabichon]

I'd grab a different case like the Deepcool Tesseract SW, and a hard drive like a WD Blue 1TB.

I really don't want to deal with the BIOS update but is there any you would suggest and how easy is it

And the ssd or just the hard drive? I really don't want to use a computer without an ssd

I would like to stick with Amazon and Newegg if possible

Yes. The 240GB SSD would serve as a boot drive, and programs that you use very often, where as the HDD would act as archival storage for large games, and files like photos and videos. 

[mayonnaiseblackhole]

Also remember the current build is only $375 and I said I will go up to $450

describe "light gaming"... because that APU isn't very fast..

I also plan on getting a low end video card for Christmas maybe

[AskTJ]

Change the board to a B350 one. Change the case. That one has no airflow.

What video card would you be looking into getting? There's not a huge point to having an APU, and a dedicated GPU.

Is there any B350 that you suggest? It would be nice if I didn't have to update the BIOS. Also is the Masterbox 5 white too overkill for my price range?

Still, the case is not that good.

 

The 2200G should be supported as most manufacturers have already done a BIOS flash on the boards.

Or maybe even the cards after turning. The nice thing about going with AMD is that I can upgrade in the future when I have more money.

The 2200G is supported out of the box as it is a 1st gen CPU.

Is there any case you suggest? Also I thought that 2200G needed a BIOS update because it is second gen

Which motherboard?
