Completed computer assembly.
Hello,
I'm considering a computer upgrade. Currently, I possess:
i5-2320
8 GB of RAM
My graphics card has failed
SilverStone 700W 80 Bronze Plus PSU
I’m not a serious gamer but enjoy playing games. 4K resolution is unsuitable for me, and I'm willing to sacrifice graphical details like shadows and depth to ensure smooth gameplay.
I’m planning to purchase the following from Amazon:
ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 570 O4G Gaming OC Edition GDDR5 DP HDMI DVI VR Ready AMD Graphics Card (ROG-STRIX-RX570-O4G-GAMING)
AMD Ryzen 3 2200G
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Desktop Memory Kit - Black
GIGABYTE B450 AORUS Elite (AMD Ryzen AM4/ M.2 Thermal Guard/HMDI/DVI/USB 3.1/DDR4/ATX/Motherboard)
Is this a reasonable budget build, or should I make alterations? Will my power supply unit be sufficient for these components?
Reusing existing storage/cases and the power supply unit (PSU):

What’s the cost for the complete renovation? What games are available?
United States?
Is the power supply unit Tek?
With my Ryzen 3 and GTX 570, I experience a CPU bottleneck when playing games like Fortnite and other demanding applications. Everything else appears to function well!
Have you acquired the RAM modules sourced from the QVL compatibility list? And would you be able to configure the memory speed to 3200 MHz as well? Please note that a fresh operating system installation will be necessary.

expenditure for the complete overhaul? titles to experience?
United States?
Is the power supply unit Silverstone TEK?
$500 excluding delivery costs
Such as The Witcher 3, I’m satisfied with 1080p settings at medium to low if the gameplay is pleasurable.
Located outside of America but I can secure favorable prices via Amazon international.
I'm relatively inexperienced so what does “TEK” signify?

With my Ryzen 3 and 570 graphics card, the processor is limiting performance in games like Fortnite and other demanding applications. It seems fine overall! I’m considering switching to the Ryzen 5 2400g because it includes integrated graphics for a backup; my previous motherboard lacked this feature, so I had to replace the entire board while I waited for my new build – quite frustrating!
Regarding the RAM: Did you acquire the components from the QVL list for your processor and, if possible, could you increase the speed to 3200MHz? This will require a fresh operating system installation. Please verify compatibility with both the CPU and motherboard on the Gigabyte website. The maximum supported memory modules are DDR4 3200(O.C.)/2933/2667/2400/2133 MHz, and I typically prefer to avoid operating at the highest supported speeds.
In what nation do you reside? The 2400G offers solid performance with built-in visuals, however, for those located in America, the Ryzen 5 2600 represents a superior option at an additional $20.
Regarding your location, which nation are you residing in? The 2400G is advisable if you require integrated graphics, however, if you’re based in the United States, the Ryzen 5 2600 represents a superior option at an additional $20.
Initially in Mauritius, I considered foregoing a dedicated graphics card and opting for the 2400G. The 2600 will necessitate a GPU, either the 2200G with a graphics card or the 2400G without one.
