I need help finding budget components
My current specs are :
FX 4350 at 4.2ghz
ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1050 2GB
Some sort of Gigabyte MB
and some random 2x4 gb sticks of ram
I bought the pc for 250 eur but the GPU was an AMD RX card (forgot which one)
it wasnt for gaming anyways
and I also fitted in a 850w Corsair PSU

I want to upgrade to an AMD Ryzen 3 1200 but I am confused about what motherboard because of the part where I have RAM thats going to work with the MB and the CPU.
I looked up a bit about motherboards and found an Asrock MB but I heard if you get wrong components you can have RAM or SSD issues. And then I found out something about a QVL..
I dont get much about that but If someone can list out parts such as RAM, Motherboard that is supporting the ryzen 1200. I'm guessing the Ram should be about 3200MHz . My budget is 300 euro around that but if someone can find something cheaper thanks

B350 chipset MoBo supports R3 1200 CPU just fine and you can even OC your CPU if you like. That AsRock MoBo is micro-ATX in size and it has 4x RAM...

B350 chipset MoBo supports R3 1200 CPU just fine and you can even OC your CPU if you like. That AsRock MoBo is micro-ATX in size and it has 4x RAM slots, making any future RAM upgrade much easier. MoBo also has classy black & white theme. And for RAM, added Adata 2x 8GB 3200 Mhz RAM which happens to have RGB LEDs on it as well. That specific RAM (part number: AX4U320038G16-DRS), is confirmed by AsRock to work in that MoBo at 3200 Mhz,
