I have a considerably big upgrade in mind for my pc. After 6 years, I want to change my processor, RAM and MoB.
I already have the following hardwares:-

(The numbers in the bracket is the year the component was bought)

  1. AMD A10 7700k APU (2014)
  2. MSI A78M MS-7721 MoB (2014)
  3. Some DDR3 2X8gb Ram which worked really well upto this point (2019)
  4. Gigabyte RX 560 4gb OC (2019)
  5. Thermaltake 550 watt psu (2019)

I want to buy:-

  1. AMD Ryzen 3 2200G Quad-Core Processor With Radeon Vega 8 Graphics
  2. Gigabyte B450M S2H/ASRock B450M-HDV R4.0 AMD Motherboard
3.CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX 8GB DDR4 3200MHZ RAM

Is this build going to support with all the aforementioned hardwares ?? Please note that I don't want to buy any costly hardware component as this is coming from my savings.
If there is anything I should add please let me know.
The budget is 260 usd.(approximately)

I second the R5 1600 AF. The board I chose supports Ryzen 3000, out of the box, so should have a larger bios chip, to handle future CPU support. Ram I chose due having used it in multiple rigs.

These parts will easily outperform the 2200G, the 1600 AF performs almost identical to the Ryzen 2600.


Since your changing out the motherboard it will require a clean install of Windows & drivers so be sure to backup any important files before you do this.

Sadly I cannot find the ryzen 1600 and the memory in my country.
But the things I mentioned in my description are available. Will they comply??
