My daughter has been playing on my PC for over year now. She came up and said she'd love to have her own and I'd like to play games with her over LAN so I agreed to start putting something together. I haven't built a computer in probably 2-3 years, so I'm not aware of everything available now. Here's what I've put together so far:
CPU: Ryzen 2200G
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-AB350M-Gaming 3
Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x4GB 3000Mhz C15
SSD: Kingston A400 240GB
GPU: ???
Case: Corsair something I have laying around
PSU: 600W one I have in storage
So the logic with this build is to get her going with the built in graphics on the Ryzen and add a GPU with good behavior . However, is it pointless to even try to game on the APU? Is the CPU side of the 2200G decently powerful enough to add something like a 1060 later? I know the Ryzen platform gives us a decent upgrade path down the road for a faster CPU too.
Would you guys suggest something different? Hoping to get the CPU, GPU, MB, Ram, and SSD for under $500 if possible.
Thanks!
