3200g B350 or A320 model options
She might need a different kind of machine since she rarely plays games and doesn’t require much power. The suggested configuration includes an AMD Ryzen 3 3200G, suitable RAM options, a GT 1030 GPU, and a flexible power supply. Regarding the A320 motherboard, it should work for a 3200G processor as long as the system meets basic requirements. For a touchscreen desktop, yes, there are options available that fit this setup.
An A320 can manage a 3200G with a BIOS upgrade, but the choice of GT 1030 seems unnecessary since the 2200G already offers strong performance. Current touchscreen displays are costly ($270+ for a 24" 1080p), and a suitable PSU like a CX450 or CX450M should suffice.
After reconsidering, it seems the iGPU in a 3200G should likely suffice.
1030 refers to the purpose of an APU—avoiding a separate graphics card. The 200GE should suffice, though APUs beginning with a 2 are limited to B450, X470, and X570 boards by default. The 3200G works only with X570 and certain B450 models that advertise third-gen support, so having the 2200G is preferable even if you need more than two cores. You'll find options for both touchscreen displays (resembling tablets) and detachable touchpads (like those from laptops) to use.
I understand the Ryzen iGPUs are strong enough for basic tasks, yet they provide sufficient power for light gaming. However, I need more dedicated VRAM for better performance. While it won’t be crucial for office work, having a longer-lasting system is important to me.
They’re not meeting the requirement. APUs use system RAM as VRAM, which is standard. If you need more usable VRAM, consider a 16GB model. It’s cheaper than a 1030 and offers better flexibility for extra RAM without needing VRAM.
It seems like you're thinking about upgrading your system if needed. You might consider adding an RX card or a GTX 1650 for better performance.
1660 or above when you choose Turing. 1650 seems slow compared to its capabilities.
