I already have the RAM, PSU and storage, so just need a CPU, MOBO and case. It's for a 10 and 6 year old to play Roblox, Animal Jam and Minecraft type games as well as watching youtube. Going to be a x-mas present but also mostly to get them off of mine. Feel like I can't do much better on price to performance, and really price is the more important one at this point.

I built a similar system for my daughter today.

AMD Ryzen 3400G
MSI B450M BAZOOKA MAX WIFI
Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 16gb
Kingston A2000 500GB M2
Corsair CV450 PSU

Also mostly for roblox minecraft.
I say go for it!!

Special that mobo is great, I have a case with Addressable RGB fans (ARGB) and mobo has 2 headers for it. And Wifi/Bluetooth.

Nice! Kinda torn between the 3400g and 3200g. I'm not so sure the $70 difference will be worth the few fps I'd be gaining and they (or I) would never notice.
Good to know it has ARGB cause its all about the LEDs for mine. Plus there is a better gaming computer in the house for actual games.

The 3200g was here in Sweden sold out and happily the 3400g on sale. about 30$ off :)
