Question B450M-HDV R4.0 Specs

[Umdeles]

Hi. Can anyone help me?
I see the specs on the brand about Motherboard B450M-HDV R4.0 , and there's a part on "Graphics" that says:

- Integrated AMD Radeon™ Vega Series Graphics in Ryzen Series APU

Does this mean that it already has a Video card integrated?
Can I still add one Video card by my choice?

Thank you.

No, there is no card integrated. It's only referring to one CPU (The APU - like Ryzen 2200g/2400G,) which has the integrated GPU.

Yes, you can simply add a discrete GPU to your system and should be good to go, providing you have a suitable PSU to power it

I'm trying to build a PC, only for Internet, Videos/ Movies, editing Photos, the PC won't be used for Gaming at all.

ATX Nox Coolbay MX2 /
Nox Urano VX 650W Bronze
ASRock B450M-HDV R4.0
Gigabyte GeForce GT 710 2GB
AMD Ryzen 5 2600 HexaCore 3.4GHz 19MB
2x 8GB (16GB) DDR4 G.Skill CL15 2400Mhz Aegis
Westen Digital 3.5" 1TB S-ATA 3 64MB
Kingston A400 SSD 120GB - for Win10

Do you think that I'll be alright?

Your build is okay, if a little imbalanced. It might be worth jumping up to a 4gb card for editing, but editing photo's will be more about system ram. I'd go for a 4gb card though.

There's a couple of other things to look at.

Ryzen CPU's love fast ram. Getting a 3000mhz 2 x 8gb kit will hugely improve performance. If you have to spend $20 dollars extra it's worth it because you will get a performance increase of about 20% over 2400mhz.

Your SSD is too small. Windows alone can take up to 90gb. YOu leave little room for much else. The 240gb A400 is only $10 dollars more. It's a no brainer.

Finally, your PSU is the real weak point here. It's a junker. I would not put it any system. Let alone a pretty decent one like your proposing to build.

This is a thread with one of the forums moderators who is pretty much the resident PSU guru here. He know's his stuff. Get something decent like a Seasonic Focus Plus or EVGA G2/G3, or if on a budget a Corsair CXM. The PSU is as important as any other component. Don't risk frying your PC with a poor quality PSU.

With all of that said, I'd actually recommend you get a Ryzen 2400g, and faster ram, and you will have a great system for what you want.

BTW, the integrated GPU on a Ryzen 2400g is better than a GT710.

Awesome, so I dont even need to buy that crappy GT710, the one that comes with 2400g is better, thanks, you helped a lot,

I'm simulating the build with 2400g;Seasonic S12II 520W;G.SKILL Aegis 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3000MHz CL16;SSD 2.5" Kingston A400 240GB TLC SATA
, thanks once again!
