Ryzen 5 2400G on A320M-K

[Borko1]

Hello, recently I have ordered this computer configuration:
AM4 AMD A320M-K
AMD Ryzen 5 2400G 4 cores 3.6GHz (3.9GHz) Box
DIMM DDR4 8GB 2.133MHz
Radeon™ Vega 11 Processor Graphics 1100 MHz Graphics Core Count: 8
It has not arrived yet, I bought this configuration from the store on a secure site in my country. When I checked the compatibility of these components on pcpartpicker.com it said:

"Warning: These parts have potential issues/incompatibilities. (See details.)"

and beneath details:

"Some AMD A320 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Raven Ridge CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions."

Do you think, did they updated the BIOS or I need to update it, what's the risk of updating BIOS to new version? I appreciate all answers.

If you have bought it from a store as a prebuilt, it should be shipped in working condition, which means the BIOS should already be updated. Talk to their customer support to get a confirmation.
If its not a prebuilt, you still need to talk to them to get a confirmation. Updating isnt a big deal, but it needs a first gen. Ryzen CPU which the 2400G is not.
In the worst case scenario, you can get a boot kit free from AMD... https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/2Gen-Ryzen-AM4-System-Bootup.aspx

Okay thanks for the answer man, I am so worried about this computer...

Nothing to worry. Should be fine either way.
Welcome.

Hello again, just to ask, I think this PC is coming with single channel 8GB DDR4 2133MHz RAM stick. I saw the benchmarks on YouTube with Ryzen 5 2400G + Vega 11 and Single Channel and it was about 30-40 FPS slower than Dual Channel. Could I later buy 1x2 or 1x4 DDR4 RAM 2133MHz and make combination with this 8GB DDR4 RAM stick? Would it make any difference? 8GB DDR4 sticks are too expensive, I don't want to buy them now.

While the Ryzen 5/3 1000 series has the standard support up to the memory frequency DDR4-2667MHz, DDR4-2999MHz is supported in the Ryzen 5/3 2000 series of APU where memory frequency is more important.

While lower-end system builders can get away with the usually cheaper Single DIMM option on other platforms, that's simply not the case for gamers looking to really take advantage of the graphics on their R5 2400G.

Memory is guaranteed in the form sold. Other combinations you happen to create have no guarantees to work together or how they will work if the PC boots up. Nothing is stopping you from making such combinations, but any compatibility testing is done on a "do it yourself" basis with no guarantees.

Ryzen's architecture makes its performance directly proportional to memory speed. AMD recommends 2933mhz or above for the Ryzen 2 APUs/CPUs. 2133 is too low, that too in single channel. Its the lowest supported frequency for that board.
The link posted by Calvin above shows the diminishing performance in descending order pretty clearly.
You can always add another 8gb but its not guaranteed to work like a kit is. It is more of a trial and error.
If this is not a prebuilt, you should rethink your RAM purchase.

My PC has been arrived. Windows 8.1 wanted me to install Windows 10, so I did it. Now, can you explain this to me? When I open any game, I have under 20 FPS... Even if I go to SA:MP I get 20 FPS. I know it's not good to have just one memory single channel, but this is my previous system:
Intel Celeron J1900
1x4 GB RAM DDR3 1600MHz
Radeon R7 240 2GB
I had about 40-50 FPS on SA:MP on this configuration. Now you see there, this DDR3 memory on my previous system is single channel and it is way less powerful than this 1x8 GB DDR4 2400 MHz RAM. How can this even be possible? Did I do something wrong? I tried to find the driver for Ryzen 5 2400G but I couldn't... Even it is Single Channel I think it should work fine... Can you please help me? Thanks.

EDIT: Nevermind guys, I got it all! Thanks all of you for your answers!
