Just - for-Browsing build for a friend

[stacielovesmalphite]

Mobo : B450 Aorus r1
Cpu +igpu : a10 9700 (he has that already)
Ram :2x4gb (should i get him only 4gb?)
Ssd: patriot spark 120gb (he has that already too, with windows 10 education )
Case : Aero cool qs 240 (owned)

Psu I could use some suggestions.

Only for browsing, music etc. The heaviest game he'll ever play is cs: condition zero and nfs most wanted

Does the cpu even work on a b450?

How much do you have set aside for the PSU? Where are you located and where would you want to source the PSU from?

What are the specs of the rams? You should look into the DDR4-3200MHz kits at the best or DDR4-2666MHz at the very least. is that board the Aorus Elite or the other version? I'd go for a smaller form factor build if it's browsing the web. Better yet, what's the entire build's budget?

Greece.
He already has a 2133mhz ram, 4gb, hyper X fury, cas 14, thinking if he should get another, same, one.
1.Does he need another 4gb for browsing?

The Aorus isn't the elite, it's the only micro one (rev. 1)

2.Does it work with the a10 9700?

There is not a certain budget for the psu, just as cheap as we can get without it exploding.

4 results come up when simply Googling B450 Aorus. Again, which one are you talking about?

You're located in Greece, I know for a fact that everything there is priced high even the most expensive paperweights are expensive.

The B450 Aorus M doesn't seem to support the A10-9700. I'd suggest looking at the Ryzen 3 2200GE and pick up the same stick of ram. Though at DDR4-2133, that's just not going to give anything to the Ryzen platform.

That's the mobo

He already has the a10.
Some on pcpartpicker is using a8 9600 on a b450

Even tho a8 is not listed on any b450's manufacturer's site either.
And he told me, on pm, AM4 a-series work on every b450.
