Hello, I want to build my first pc (gaming) but I don't have a high budget ( 400€ - 430€ germany). I've spend a lot of time searching and comparing pc pieces and I think I have found good ones. I'm not an expert (more a noob) so could you please look if my chooses are good. I do have a Pc part picker list but there are some pieces that don't show up. So I've made a web where there are all the exact components. I just buy from amazon because I had very good experiences with the returns. I want to play minecraft with this pc and I have now a laptop with the intel i3-6006u with integrated graphics card intel hd 520 and it runs Minecraft between 50-60 fps but there are often frame drops and if there are a lot of chunk updates like Redstone the fps drops to 0-10. And Minecraft is a game that uses more the cpu than the gpu. So i think that the ryzen 3200g is better than the intel i3-6006u and it will have more fps.

Solution
You won't know what version it has, except that it won't even post without the right BIOS version.

What's the issue with the board I linked? Are you pinching pennies to stay under €450, or? I ask, because there are other MSI B450 Max boards that are slightly cheaper because they give up 2 RAM slots, the VRM heatsink, VRM phases, and other features. Not compromises I'd made for the cost of a meal, but...
MSI B450M Pro-M2 MAX = €73.49 (is that ok?)
I honestly don't even want to mention the MSI B450M-A Pro MAX.

I think the issue here is that you're admittedly buying about the lowest end [lowest power] CPU that's available for this platform. Because of that, it's easy to argue that "this board is fine for the 3200G". But it's...

Neither. EVGA BR is not good. And the SeaSonic is not even made by SeaSonic.

At this price, Corsair CX450 or CX550 is usually the best choice.
I've found the system power 9 500W from be quiet! and I want to ask if it's better than the cx 550 or the same, because the System Power 9 costs in Germany 53,99€ and the CX 550 costs 63,99€ (at least in my region where the VAT from amazon makes the product cheaper).
Thank you

OP is asking about the III, not the II.
As far as I know, there's still no detailed review on the S12III's.
While it's outsourced, it's still a Seasonic platform - and (assumption) they wouldn't be retaining their branding on something they're not confident in, even outsourced.

Personally, I'd be comfortable enough running an S12III, but I'd stop shy of recommending to others.


@SpacEagle17 - all your threads appear to be addressing the same, overarching topic. Please stick to one.

TBH, i wasn't referring to it being a III or the II, or whether there was a detailed review. There are some reviews around from which we can extrapolate. Out of the two the Seasonic S12III is the better PSU. That was the only point I was trying to make there.

But, I also added the caveat that providing the current system doesn't have dGPU then the S12 would be fine. And also that neither PSU the OP quoted would be suitable for a modern system. i don't think that's a recommendation really!! But okay.

With that said, I'd agree with others on the CX, the new versions. They are better than both above, and reasonably priced too.
