[SOLVED] Build advice for World of Warships.

[mactronix]

Hello,
Very old hand here asking for advice as I have been out of the PC building game now for well over a decade.
Basically I am looking to build a PC that will realistically not be asked to do more that make World of Warships look as pretty as possible.
My monitor is 1080p however I would consider an upgrade here if people thought it worthwhile.
I have looked around a little and Ryzen looks the way to go, not sure which one though.
It seems that something like an Nvidia GTX 1650 Super would be the sweet spot graphically from what I have gathered from others who play the game.
Any advice on things that might seem irrelevant such as storage (NVME or not ) ?? would be appreciated.

Basically I know through past experience how easy it is to spend hundreds on not needed performance "Oh its just that little bit extra for X more performance" and I am looking for guidance on what I should and should not care about these days.

Thanks for reading and hopefully helping this old hand out a bit.

RX580 is about the same price as a 1650 super, and MUCH more powerful (should get you about 55-75 fps in WoWS). It has a 512 GB SSD, small but enough for all the "World Of ..." games, and you can always add more storage later. the SSD is needed to load on time. Also through in a mechanical keyboard and gaming mouse

There are a few changes, I would make, but overall agree. The R3 3100 is better, gaming wise. and B550 is a better chipset, upgrade path wise.
