So i have old build at the moment and i want to upgrade
I currently have
Motherboard: ASUS M3N78 SE
CPU : AMD Phenom X4 9650
GPU : PowerColor R9 280X
RAM : DDR2 4GB
PSU : Corsair CX600

I bought these parts
Motherboard : Gigabyte A320M-H
RAM : 2x4GB 2666MHz

And planning to buy Ryzen 3 1200 CPU
But the store recomended me Ryzen 5 2600 or Ryzen 5 2600x and new motherboard
but that was much much over my budget so i found this CPU : Ryzen 3 2200G will it work for me?
Thanks
 
Solution
If you are using a dedicated graphics card the 2200g isnt worth much more money over a 1200.

A 1200 and 2200g woll work on that motherboard as lomg as the bios is remotely recent.

Whats the price difference?


The 2200g is faster, but often sells for a lot more than the 1200 making the slightly slower 1200 a better value.

one more question can i update bios without cpu or with ryzen 3 2200g
because i dont have any other cpu ?

The R3 1200 is definitely the better deal.

Maybe you could get the 1200 and a b450 motherboard (allows better ram support and CPU overclocking) rather than the 2200g and A320.

Heres an example of a very budget B450 motherboard.

sorry but i cant buy that motherboard since i already bought and got delivered the a320 will it be bad
So youre telling that i wont be able to OC my RAM or cpu ?
