I'm thinking about buying a new CPU and chose the Ryzen 3 1300x. However I'm unsure what kind of budget motherboard and RAM do I need to have. What motherboard would support this processor and what kind of RAM do I need for low resolution gaming and personal use.
My budget for all these parts and cpu is 250 euros.
