Looking for a gaming pc

[jazgreen99]

Hi I’m looking to get a gaming pc I have a budget and found a prebuilt but I’m not sure if I should change the motherboard and maybe the powersupply here are the specs it’s a prebuild but as time goes buy is it possible to get upgrade kits?

AMD Ryzen 3 2200G (4C, 3.5GHz w/ boost up to 3.7GHz)
Radeon Vega 8 Graphics Onboard
8GB DDR4 2666MHz
400w High Performance Power Supply
MSI A320M PRO-VH PLUS AM4 Mbd
120GB SSD
24x DVD-RW Super-MultiDrive - SATA3 6.0Gbps,
RAIDMAX VORTEX ATX Case
8 Channel Audio + Gigabit lan

budget and country?
A320 is not recommended as it can not overclock.
psu is junk
Vega 8 can not play games well in 1080p...

South Africa my budget is 8.5k
That was prebuilt I could change the motherboard to a MSI B450M Pro-M2 AMD B450 Ryzen Socket AM4 MSI or the B450M Mortar AMD B450 Ryzen Socket AM4 Micro-ATX Micro-ATX

Mortar is good
Any choices on the psu?
any hdd other than 120 gb ssd? 120 is too small.

Psu is Super Flower SF-550F14MP(WH) Leadex 550W 80 Plus Platinum Certified Fully Modular White what about
Mushkin MKNSSDSR250GB Source 250GB 3D TLC ? And I’ll add a 1Tb HDD. But the problem is it’s another 3k for software I could just create a windows media usb and add my own key which I don’t no where to get

yep, superflower is much better unit.
250 gb ssd is better
do you have win 7 or win 10 key? You can download win 10 ISO here and create usb: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

I don’t have the windows 10 key. It’s only activated on my notebook.ive created the file on my usb using the windows media tool but I don’t have the license key. My other laptop I downloaded windows 10 as I had windows 7 but without the key I can’t update or anything. Can you buy just keys?

 

[vapour]

Windows 10 will still make mandatory updates when running inactivated. Win 7 key should be able to activate win 10 too, just try it: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-windows_install/how-to-install-and-activate-windows-10-using-your/d713f9f9-e91f-4ffe-a3c0-7ef9639a0559

Ah thanks a million. What I meant by not updating it says failed to update and the says restart computer then it goes straight into the bios setup and have to format my hard drive a load it again

I am confused. Is this the new pc or old? If old win 7, do you have the keys? I will just pick install instead of update. It will be cleaner.

 

[jazgreen99]

No this is my old laptop I haven’t decided on my new one yet
Thank you I’ll try that now will just do s clean installation and back up my files. Another question would you go for an i3 8th gen or a Amd ryzen 3 2200G?

Without gpu, definitely Ryzen with Vega, much better igpu.
