Looking at the setup, the Gigabyte Ga-A320-H Rev 1.x paired with a Ryzen 5 1600 should work well for a budget build. It’s a solid choice if you're aiming for good performance without breaking the bank.

It relies on the cost and your future upgrade intentions. The motherboard uses the A320 chipset, which limits overclocking and imposes other constraints such as just two memory slots, fewer SATA ports, and limited USB connections. Upgrades are restricted to CPUs compatible with Ryzen 3xxx models; newer chips won't function. There are no heatsinks on the VRM, so increasing to high TDP processors like 95W+ isn't advisable unless you add a fan in that space between the CPU and connectors. Also, a 1600 processor lacks integrated graphics, meaning you'll need a dedicated video card.

For YouTube, some games and school projects. P.S. I already have a Ryzen 5 1600, but my motherboard doesn’t have an AM4 port.

I understand, I won’t push the CPU beyond its limits since the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 isn’t suitable for demanding games. I won’t try to run high-end titles like Cyberpunk; I prefer a more balanced setup. Using the stock cooler and having a case fan should be enough for me.
