Upgradin to ryzen

[rokolopokolo]

Hi, so, im looking to upgrade my system, i have

phenom 2 x4 970
Croshair IV formula
RAM: 8gb DDR3
GTX 1050ti 4gb
SSD: 250 gb
HDD: 1TB



I found a guy selling a system:

Ryzen 1200
Asus prime A320M-K
Ram: 8gb DDR4
SSD: 128gb
GPU: something cheap vith 1 gb vram due to a lack of on board graphics.

he wants 250€


Basically, i would merge what i could of my system wit his, maybe buy another 8 gb stick for 80€.

Do you think its worth it or should i wait for a better system? im looking to play mostly older games, although, some PUBG would be nice.

I think that would be a good idea, although keep in mind you can't overclock with that motherboard and the ryzen 3 1200 has a low base clock.

Someone also just posted this:

ITX Ohišje Silverstone SST-SG13B-Q Sugo
CPU Intel i5-7500
ASRock H110M, ITX,
SSD Samsung EVO 850, 512GB ,
HDD Seagate (2.5") 2TB SATA3, BarraCuda, 128MB
EVGA 450B, 450W 80+bronze
Ram Crucial DDR4, 16 GB (2x8), 2133mhz,

For this he wants 410€, but i saw it for 480€ and 450€ before, so that means he is lowering the price, do you think i should haggle him down a bit more and go with this system? i would also be putting in my 1050ti and my old ssd.

I personally wouldn't go for a Kaby Lake build now, Especially an i5. quad cores without hyperthreading will not stay relevant for much longer. Also, the PSU included in the build is pretty bad.

I like ryzen, I have a 1600 myself, but the a320 board is going to limit you.

Do you mean in terms of OC ? as i understand it i can just put a ryzen 5 or 7 in it down the road to upgrade,

If you don't intend to overclock the a320 board is fine. But for example, with my ryzen 1600, stock speeds is looking 3.2ghz, I've got it in a b350 board at 3.7. but yes you could upgrade later if you're willing to settle for stock clock speeds.

Im fine with stock rely, also, im not a very demanding user(hence r3 1200) but in the future if id be upgrading to a r5 or r7 id probably dish out the 100€ for a b350. As is im good with the a320.
