I'm planning on upgrading my gaming rig so I won't have to constantly keep worrying if my rig can run a game. I look forward to getting a better motherboard such as a ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4, a new CPU because my current one (AMD FX 4300) is probably not gonna work with it. The CPU i look forward to getting is a Ryzen 3 1200. A new GPU, Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 OC 2g to add as a cherry on top. Will this potential rig work together with or without minimal bottle necking ?

Form factor is not mentioned anywhere but it looks ITX to me. Your case might not fit a ATX board.
If that is the case, then you have two options...

>>>>> Get ITX board by paying extra to fit in that case... (not recommended)

Do you have any recommendations that aren't extremely expensive? i'm looking for like 8 gigabytes or 12 gigabytes.

Ryzen is a bit picky about RAM. If you want the best performance, then the GSkill Flare X lineup is the best. AMD recommends 2666mhz and above, but the sweet spot is 3000/3200mhz. If you cannot pick the Gskill units, pick whichever kit is cheapest at your location, meeting the above criterias... https://www.toptengamer.com/best-ram-amd-ryzen-5-7-cpu/

Does the stock AMD Wraith cooler come with the Ryzen 3 1200?

Considering the Gskill FlareX Lineup is way too expensive for me, is there any other ram that will work?

This is what that core build would look like in terms of cost:

No bottlenecking at all and much better than FX.

A lot of the components you listed out I'm getting at Newegg.com so it's gonna come out way cheaper.

Thanks, but I'm only looking to get a motherboard, videocard, cpu and ram. Unless the motherboard won't fit inside comfortably my ASUS M52BC case, I'm not gonna a lot of the other stuff you added.

That site takes whichever retailer has the lowest price for the particular part and selects it. If Newegg had it then it was listed for a higher price. I found a cheaper video card as well and changed the retailer to Newegg only if that helps.

consider a new power supply if you are migrating. They generally should be replaced if you've been running it for 5+ years or it is a lower quality unit. A new case would not cost much either. A new look is always nice.

Sheesh... this is going to come out expensive. Thanks, i'll keep many of these things in mind.

That's about as cheap as a budget gaming PC costs these days. Graphics cards and DDR4 is expensive. Any less GPU power or RAM and you will have garbage performance. Yes you could stay on FX and get a new GPU (and live with the bottleneck stuttering) but honestly don't upgrade your FX CPU to another. You'd be better off hunting for a refurbished Intel core i5 PC from generation 2-4.

I was intrigued buy the motherboard you posted and I'm not really looking forward to getting a new case or power supply. My current computer is an ASUS M52BC with the AMD FX 4300. The question is, Will the tomahawk atx am4 motherboard fit in my computer?
