I been thinking of building a desktop for normal work use and mid tier gaming purposes. Budget should be around 1-1.5k. Any recommendations? I am very new to this.

What will you be needing for your budget?

Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse? Or just the PC?

What games do you wish to play?

What a great time to be building a simple desktop for casual gaming and uni work. AMD Ryzen APUs just been released!

  • APU+Mobo: Ryzen R3-2200G + MSI B350M Mortar - $305
  • RAM: 2* KLEVV BOLT 3000MHz C15 8GB sticks - $129*2=$258
  • Cooler: Included Wraith Stealth - $0
  • SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 250GB m.2 SATA - $145
  • HDD: 2TB Toshiba 7200RPM (2yrs) - $78
  • PSU: FSP Hyper K 500W - $64
  • Case: Tecware Nexus M-ATX TG - $58
  • Monitor: Samsung 23.5" LED Monitor LS24F350FHEXXS - $185 [Lazada]
  • Windows: OEM - $10
Total Damage - $1103
Mostly Quoted from Dynacore.

Firstly, you'll need to know how to overclock to achieve better gaming performance out of this APU. Secondly, make sure the Motherboard you're getting has latest BIOS for APU support. If it doesn't, let the shop do a BIOS flash with another CPU.

Best to get someone who knows PC to go with you if you're not up to date with the Hardware.

Sadly, can't get you a PC with a GPU at the moment due to high GPU prices. If you wish to improve your gaming experience, feel free to get a GPU in the future when prices drop.

Z270 series is meant for 6th and 7th gen Intel processor with socket LGA 1151. It is not compatible with AMD processor as Psycovirus suggested which uses Socket AM4 (a320, b350 and x370 series motherboard) nor 8th Gen Intel processor.

Following Psycovirus list, if you like Asus motherboard, can swap the motherboard he recommended to Asus TUF B350M Plus Gaming as he recommended a MATX chassis. So you will need an MATX motherboard.
