Hello everyone, I just completed my first build and everything is working fine. I have a few performance-related questions. I'm using the following components: Motherboard - Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite AX v2, CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, RAM - 4x DDR4 16GB Corsair Vengeance, GPU - Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 OC, and 12GB of memory.

My main concern is whether I've made a mistake with the CPU and GPU pairing. Could they be conflicting? Should I switch to a CPU without built-in graphics, or is this okay?

Additionally, I've read online that the AMD Ryzen 4600G supports up to 3200MHz RAM. My RAM is capped at 2666MHz even with XMP enabled. Am I missing something here? Shouldn't the RAM be limited to 3200MHz? Thanks in advance for your help.

Choose the non-G CPU if it's more affordable, especially because you're already using a dedicated GPU.

Thanks for the update, I already have the CPU and GPU. Just want to confirm it won’t affect performance.

Ensure the monitor is connected to the GPU, not the motherboard.
