Hey, for a full AMD build using your Asus ROG Strix B450 motherboard, a mid-range processor like the Ryzen 5 or Intel Core i5 would work well. Avoid overkill chips unless you need heavy gaming or multitasking. For RAM, aim for at least 16GB if possible, with 32GB being ideal for smooth performance.
It varies based on your friend’s setup. A Ryzen 5 3600 works well, but a mid-range 2600/1600 AF is also a solid pick for those on a tighter budget. Pair the 3600 with 3600Mhz RAM, and go with 3000-3200Mhz with the older CPU models.
spay paint doesn't do well on plastic and no way to RMA the card. plasti dip is better but the best is just to find a white card from the factory. I also am not going to tell a brand new builder to go and mod a card.
