Question Upgrade My AMD System - Ryzen 3400G and Rx 580?!

[troyer1234567]

Hi,
My current build:
Mb: Asus B450m-a
GPU: None - I use APU (vega 11)
CPU: Ryzen 3400G
Ram: 2*8 corsair lpx 3600mhz tight timings
psu: Green 330w eco
case: Viera VI-1148 (mATX)
I'm really low on budget and looking to play games on 1080p High settings (using fsr or not) , so i thought of buying Rx 580 and also upgrading my psu to 600w and maybe oc my CPU as it might bottleneck rx 580 if i don't oc... and for that i think stock cooler is not enough and i'm thinking of buying a cooler so i found Deepcool AG200

1- for the gpu, what do you think? i found rx 580 for 50$ while 5700xt is 100$
2-for psu part: i chose 600 so in the future if i upgraded my gpu to 6700xt and my cpu to ryzen 7 zen 3 , then there would be no problem, that's why i chose Green 600w GED
3- should i oc my Ryzen 3400g when using rx 580 to avoid bottleneck? if so, then should i replace stock cooler with Ag200?

thanks

1| Where are you located, what is your budget for your upgrades and what is your preferred site for purchase?

2| 330/600/1000 is a advertised wattage for the unit, what is the make and model of the PSU you're looking at? Quality units should be invested in if you want to avoid rebuilding your system(from the ground up).

that's why i chose Green 600w GED
And on that note, you shouldn't buy that PSU...unless you want to ruin your investments.

3| I wouldn't, not in 2025, you might want to consider upgrading the processor to a Ryzen 5 5600x and if your rams aren't DDR4-3200MHz/DDR4-3600MHz with tight latencies, then that's something you can upgrade as well.

You forgot to mention the make and model of your case.

Mb: B450m-a
For the sake of clarity, what you've provided is a partial info of the motherboard. Asus and MSI have a board with the same nomenclature, which one do you have?

Drama king! It's not a bad unit. It's even a bit better than a MSI MAG A-BN that's often recommanded in this forum. The Green 600w GED is totally fine for a system with RX 580 and ik can run a 6700XT + Zen 4 too.

budget: maximum: 200$ but i prefer to spend about 100$

make and model of the PSU you're looking at

Green GP600A-GED
My current psu is Green 330w eco , i don't know the exact model

processor to a Ryzen 5 5600x and if your rams aren't DDR4-3200MHz/DDR4-3600MHz with tight latencies

upgrading cpu costs a lot, i will do that in the future. current ram is 2*8 corsair vengeance lpx 3600mhz running on lowest timings and 1.35V and 3466Mhz freq (i tried everything and now it's the best i can get)

so considering not being able to upgrade cpu , should i oc it? and should i go for a better cooler like deepcool ag 200?

model of your case

Viera VI-1148 (Chinese case), it's a m size so only mATX motherboards would fit, Dimensions: 408*175*350

which one do you have?

Asus B450M-A

i'm not getting that ONLY for Rx 580 build, i want to assure the future power supply of my build if i replace rx 580 with a new card like 6700xt and replace ryzen 3400g with a zen 3 ryzen 7 cpu in the future

It's fine. Not the best unit but all the protections are present and the voltage regulation is good enough. It'doesn't kill anything. There are 650w Gold units with LLC on the primary that perform less than this Bronze unit.
