Question Should i go with the Ryzen 3?

[i76700hquser]

I'm thinking of buying an used Ryzen 3 for cheap price, i found some Ryzen 3 1200 and Ryzen 3 2200g, i will buy the GPU later (or maybe use the integrated one if that's applicable), which one is a good option for low end gaming like Minecraft, PC Building Simulator and video editing? I will use a 450w PSU, and i will buy an motherboard MSI A320M Pro-E.

Thanks.

My 1200 @3.7 (close to a stock 2200g) and 580 are fine with BeamNG. I am purely GPU bound, although the last update has seemed to hammer my CPU a little more than before.

You will need low settings to get BeamNG running well. It would have severe issues on any I3, but the 2200g should be ok with lowered settings.

If I can run it at low, medium settings with some cars it's great.

I mentioned the i3 based on playing Minecraft

My 1200 @3.7 (close to a stock 2200g) and 580 are fine with BeamNG at 1080p. Some maps will be ok with high settings but some require me to turn settings down a tad. I am purely GPU bound, although the last update has seemed to hammer my CPU a little more than before.

Yeah 1680x1050 is a nice resolution, you get almost the same vertical height as 1080p since it's 16:10 instead of 16:9 aspect ratio. I have 1920x1200 Lenovo monitors.

Thanks, if it's nice I will only upgrade it when I see dead pixels or some other defect. It's great for video editing so I hope Ryzen runs well (I only render at 720p60 or 720p30).
Is the stock cooler fine then? I forgot to ask earlier.

 

[i76700hquser]

I'm asking since I heard sometimes stock coolers aren't sufficient.

The wraith stealth is fine for stock operation. Overclocking is ok as long as you dont go crazy.

Thanks man, when I finish the build or I have some question I post here.

its good enough for you...i Use stock cooler on ryzen 5 2400g with igpu OC @ 1460mhz and cpu @3.9 ghz
and my temp when playing games is max 58C to 64C

Then it should be ok, if i get 2666MHz RAM instead of 2133MHz would i note a difference?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

You would notice a decent difference. Usually worth it.

Thanks, if i buy this:
CRUCIAL - Ballistix Sport DIMM DDR4 8GB 2666M Unbuffered
will it work?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Is it 1x8gb or 2x4gb?

You want 2x4gb

 

[i76700hquser]

Is it 1x8gb or 2x4gb?

You want 2x4gb

1x8GB it's 36 euros
2x4GB it's 48 euros
(same model only changes the GB)
Is there a real difference?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

2 stick doubles your bandwidth. Better performance.

Well worth it.

Sorry for having much questions but, I saw that CL16 is slow RAM, is that true?
Also i was choosing dual channel so later i can upgrade to 16gb easily, but if it's better i can think about it.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

CL16 is fine.

 

[i76700hquser]

CL16 is fine.

Thanks for the help, i give news later.

If you can try changing the mobo to a cheap b450.Reason being it got a good upgrade path.The A320 are a bare bone mobo with about no futures.If you budget doesn't allow it then it makes sense.Also 80gb is not enough these days.My brother actually got a 120ssd and it's only used for windows.He got 2tb for dl/game installs.

No, it really doesnt allow since it's 20 euros more expensive, (budget is 180 euros) this is the build:
Motherboard MSI A320M PRO-E - sk AM4 47,90 €
AMD - RYZEN 3 2200G 3.5GHZ 2MB L2 83,23 €
CRUCIAL - Ballistix Sport DIMM DDR4 8GB 2666M Unbuffered € 36, 89
SSD 2.5" Kingston A400 120GB TLC SATA 17,90€
Total: 185,90€ is there something bad here?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Well the ram and mobo wouldnt be my pick, but they will work alright since you are budget constricted.

4X2GB RAM 2133MHz (cheapest i could find)

What do you guys think?

4 GB of RAM is insufficient. 2133MHz RAM will cripple a Ryzen.

Get 2x4GB (8GB) total of 3000MHz RAM.

I was trying to say 2x4GB not 4x2GB my bad.
But i can only get 8GB DDR4 2666MHz CL16 with my budget.

The a320 is fine if you dont want to overclock. All MSI A320 motherboards have received bios updates for 3rd gen cpus if you want to upgrade in thr future, but the vrms might not like a high tdp chip.

The single channel 2666mhz ram is far from ideal. It will certainly reduce igpu and cpu performance, but it will work if you truely cannot spend a dime more.

If i put later more 8GB that will certainly increase performance right? And do i have to put the same model of RAM?

Yes and yes.
