PSU is huge overkill.

I wouldn't go with 3400G when a Ryzen 3 1200 + RX 570 is about the same price. Same upgrade path but better day 1 performance. 3400G is for small form factor systems.

 

[R0H1T]

Looks like a good build, do you plan to add a dGPU later on? If so I'd suggest getting a Ryzen 2 based 3xxx chip, provided it fits your budget & you'll use the GPU for things other than browsing the web or watching cat videos

as a power supply I was about to take the Corsair CX500
500W compared to 550W
save about a $ 10

CX500 — 80 PLUS® Bronze Certified Power Supply

The CX500 delivers the power needed for medium specification home or office PCs that do not have high numbers of components, while also offering high energy efficiency and low noise.

but I don't know if it is a good power supply with good quality internal components, for the power even adding a gpu I think they are enough. not?

yes, I think yes. but for now I am satisfied with the apu


more than to play the PC is for work, but every now and then I would like to play a bit of game not an ultra graphic for this apu it seems to me a good solution, compared to taking a dedicated GPU. the program he uses for work will be mostly autocad.

Hi,it is a nice build. I would avoid using the Corsair RAM with Ryzen and I think you should make an effort and get some GSkill 3200mhz at least or maybe some Patriot Viper also would get the ASRock B450m Steel Legend for the motherboard if there is not a big difference in price. Enjoy your build

 

[FinneousPJ]

You can make do with 300 W or 400 W if adding a mid range GPU.

why would you avoid the corsair ram?

the mb I chose is one of the few that you don't have to update the bios to use the ryzen 3000. for this I chose it.

thank's

in the future I would like a rx 580 or gtx 1060
for these 2 are 450-500W sufficient?
could you indicate some mid rage gpu?
thank's

or if you buy from another shop look for F4-3200C16D-16GTZR or F4-3200C16D-16GTZRX
first kit will work fine with zen2 but for zen&zen+ you better take amd dedicated one

ryzen 3400g is zen2?

The B450m Steel Legend does as well.

As for the RAM Crucial it is ok but I would rather go for GSkill, it will help the integrated GPU as well.

Yes, 400 W is enough for 3400G +RX580. Make sure you have 30 Amps or more on the 12 V line and you're golden.

get the Corsair CX450, it is cheap and it is reliable. I build several PC's at work with it and never had issues.

I chose the mb msi because it is cheap and the lights or LEDs do not interest me and above all it has the vga connection to connect my philips 1366x768 screen

I'm all for supreme quality PSUs, but you gotta consider the use case.

 

[HenrySomeone]

3400g really isn't a great option for the money, especially if you're already considering a separate gpu in the near future; if you have at least some basic one to carry you over (like a gt 710, 730 or the like), I would suggest a 9400f for a similar or even slightly lower price. Also I agree with some others that the 5500W PSU from Evga isn't all that great and one of the two Seasonic units posted above is a better choice.

9400f is apu?

yes,i'm considering other options for the psu and the ram

thank's

 

[HenrySomeone]

No, that's why I said if you have at least some basic gpu for now before you get a proper one.

if you put 400W now in the future do you have to change psu if you decide to put a gpu?

 

[FinneousPJ]

if you put 400W now in the future do you have to change psu if you decide to put a gpu?

No, I already said that's enough for 3400G +RX 580. As an example. People love overestimating power reqs for some reason.

 

[HenrySomeone]

if you put 400W now in the future do you have to change psu if you decide to put a gpu?

Depends on the gpu of course - it should be perfectly fine for something like a 1060 (which you mentioned yourself) or a 1660Ti

No, I already said that's enough for 3400G +RX 580. As an example. People love overestimating power reqs for some reason.

A top notch 400W unit might be enough for a 580, but I wouldn't risk it on that Silverstone...

 

[Mr_Shocker]

No, that's why I said if you have at least some basic gpu for now before you get a proper one.

ah ok sorry I didn't understand correctly. at the moment nothing I have, you have to build a new pc. so far I've only had a laptop and so I want to try to use laptop hdds and a 15-year-old case.

yes,depends

it depends on the consumption of the gpu you choose. I just gave examples. but for now nothing. then to be on the safe side also that 520 W seasonic gives me a good margin if a future decided a model of gpu. and I also save $ 10-15 compared to evga.
