Can anyone see any issues with this build as far as parts go?

I am having issues just getting the thing to power on let alone boot.

yes you need a graphics card to boot it

You are on a 300series board with a not yet updated bios. You need to update this and for that you need a gpu.
NEVERMIND Misread it as a ryzen 2200g.
Still need a gpu tho.

Swore I had seen that CPU with integrated graphics but just checked and it doesn't. Ok, anything else?

As I've said issues just getting the thing to power on. It doesn't show any signs of life.

I've tried the motherboard with 2 PSU's. One bought for this, one I know works on my very first home build and neither powered up.

Here's the checklist.

Or something I forget every once in awhile is turning the switch on for the PSU.

Think I figured it out, CPU didn't seem to be seated properly and wasn't shorting the power button prongs but something else that looked exactly like the set that would contain the power button prongs..

Ordered another motherboard thinking it was that. Had to force the cpu heatsink off the motherboard taking the cpu with it. The amount and type of thermal compound was like cement. Ended up moving it around to loosen till it pinged off onto the floor. Either me closing the cpu handle on an unproperly seated CPU or that fall caused pins on one corner to bend. Managed to unbend them enough to seat properly, actually shorted the power button prongs and voila. LIFE!!! Now to get it booting...

Utter incompetence on my side.

Thanks for the checklist.

What GPU would match up well with this CPU, something like a 1050. Not much of a AMD user. Machine is for recording and possibly live streaming video.

To confirm I wouldn't need to specifically update the bios other than to get latest version in my case?

You don't need a BIOS update however you do need a dedicated GPU to use the system.
