B350 with 16GB or B450 with 8GB options available
I'm looking to buy a PC and am in Manila comparing prices. I'm unsure which setup is more cost-effective. I saw a deal listing an A320 motherboard for the same price as an Asrock AB350 Fatal1ty Gaming K4 board with MSI B450M PRO-VDH+ at 2,600 MSI. I plan to use it with a 3200G and think a Vega Graphics card should work well for 1080p. Your list includes your intended specs: Ryzen 3 3200G, 16GB dual channel on the B350, and other components. You mentioned using it mainly for League of Legends and YouTube, so you're okay with a budget around 22k.
The B350 probably won’t work with the 3200G. Could you check for a 2400G model? It offers a more integrated GPU. The mainboard is superior for future upgrades. If you anticipate needing a 3600 or higher in the future, opt for the MSI version. The Corsair vs Series comparison isn’t ideal—look for a Corsair CX series instead.
I checked the market and the EVGA 450BV offers similar features at a comparable cost. It could be a good option depending on your needs.
You can purchase it later once your SSD is full. It comes with a one-year warranty, which isn't ideal. Solid PSUs usually offer three to five years of coverage.
Here are some alternatives I found:
Coolermaster MWE 450 80+ PSU V2.31 2,150
Thermaltake Smart RGB 500W 80PLUS® APFC Non-Modular Power Supply 2,150
Thermaltake Litepower 550W 85% Efficiency APFC Non-Modular P 1,800
per the tier list, the AB350 supports around 75A to the CPU, which caps at roughly 90W. That’s insufficient for the 3700X if you aim for any minor overclocking.
