![]() For $64 (at pub time), the drive offers rated sequential read and write speeds of 1,800 MBps and 1,400 MBps respectively which is way faster than a SATA drive and really strong for this price range. Any pair of two 8GB DIMMs running at 3200 MHz will do, but this kit was cheapest when we wrote this.įor our storage drive, we've chosen the TeamGroup MP33, which is an incredible value, considering its speed and capacity. To milk the maximum performance out of our integrated GPU, which relies on system RAM, we need relatively-fast, but inexpensive RAM, so we’re going with a TeamGroup 16GB (8x2) kit running at 3200 MHz. If you can spring for a B550 board, you'll get better GPU bandwidth and also get the ability to someday upgrade to a speedy PCIe Gen 4 SSD, something that's way too expensive for this build and not at all a priority. You can always save your pennies for a future GPU upgrade.įor the motherboard, any budget B450 or B550 board with an M.2 slot should do, but we’ve chosen the ASRock B450M Pro4 because of its relatively affordable price more than any of its features. ![]() We don’t expect fantastic frame rates in games, but you should be able to game at 720p and perhaps step up to 1080p with low-to-medium settings on some less-demanding games. That APU also comes with AMD's Wraith cooler in the box, so that's one place where we'll save some money. The Ryzen 5 boasts AMD Radeon Vega 7 graphics, 6 CPU cores and a boost clock of 4.4 GHz. On the CPU side, that means an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G. Because of that, we’re recommending that you go with the best possible integrated graphics you can afford. ![]() We hate to say it, but if you can't go over $500, you probably shouldn't consider using a discrete graphics card (you can do just barely but at the expense of other key parts). TeamGroup T-Force Zeus DDR 16GB Kit (2 x 8GB) 3200 MHz ![]()
