Mid-range small form factor Ryzen build

[galapogos]

Hi,

Looking for recommendations on a mid-range SFF Ryzen build. No gaming required so no discrete GPU required. I'm not familiar with the Ryzen landscape, so need some help here. Some quick reading yields the following basic specs
AMD Ryzen 5 2400G
Some B350 ITX motherboard. Probably one of the following:

1. ASUS ROG STRIX B450-I GAMING
2. Asrock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming-ITX/ac
3. Gigabyte B450 I AORUS PRO WIFI
4. MSI B450I GAMING PLUS AC

2x8GB DDR4 memory
Some 400W or above PSU
Some SFF ITX case

I have an existing 2.5" SSD I have re-use.

Any recommendations?

You can consider B450 instead of B350.

The ASRock B450 GAMING ITX/AC (Lazada has it for $219) has USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type A and C ports and dual band ac wifi.

Wow finally. That took some time.

Be careful about the Asus version. It's got a Realtek WIFI card. I have the X470 version and that has pissed me off

Then just change the card.

I fail to see what is the big deal here.

For the premium asus pricing, getting something mediocre ain't really satisfying eh? Especially one who takes particular attention to that certain component. (eg. Wifi card in this case)

I'm not too concerned with WiFi since it will be on LAN, and according to the Asus website, it's got Intel GbE.

Thanks. Can you provide a link? I search for it on Lazada but didn't find it. Is this only available on Lazada and not Sim Lim? Not very familiar with getting CPU/motherboards from Lazada, are they cheaper than getting bundles from Sim Lim, e.g. from Tradepac/PC Themes?

You pay for something and it doesn't work properly. Manufacturer cheaped out but didn't pass the savings to you. You fork out more cash to get it fixed.

Seems like a good enough reason

Hi, link as requested.

I didn't see this on TradePac/PC Themes price lists, just the older B350 version. In any case, I don't think the price difference is going to be substantial either way.

For Lazada, you can use discount codes like SCBEST (25 off 250 min spend, SCB credit card) and 5% rebate if you have LiveUp.
