[SOLVED] New mob, cpu

[jack reacherabcd]

Hi, I wanted to know if it would be good idea to upgrade my current rig to following -

Current
Cpu - I3 540
Gpu- gtx 750
mobo - dh55tc (very old)
ram - 4gb

Wanted to know if I can upgrade to A320 mobo, and ryzen 5 2400g keeping all other components same. Thanks

Since you already have a gtx 750 GPU, is counterproductive to get Ryzen 5 2400g APU which has a RAdeon GPU.
Go with the Ryzen 5 2600 (better performance) and a B450 motherboard.
You cannot re-use DDR3 RAM, you will have to get new DDR4 RAM.

What do you mean by counterproductive, like cannot be put together? Sorry don't know much about pcs

Yes, they will work together, but not efficiently.
If you already have a GPU (gtx 750), there is not point getting an APU like the Ryzen 5 2400g.
Ryzen 5 2400g has an integrated GPU, and it is aimed at system that do not have a dedicated GPU.

If you're on a budget and living close to Micro Center I'd go in and get a Ryzen 5 1600. They're selling them (in store only) for $80!! If you bundle it with a motherboard you get $30 off a motherboard. I went in on Friday and got the CPU with a B450 mATX motherboard for $110 total!
