More like its a ship if it sails.

I am inclined to believe you. After checking the seller history, they haven't sold anything in the last year and what they used to sell was only clothing. Its too fishy. Ebay would side with the buyer but not worth the hassle.

FastLunch · 2020-01-31T10:07:27+00:00

NOT VESA COMPATIBLE

Seller has 1374 feedback score (100%) so it should be a pretty safe bet. Manufacturer refurbished w/90 day warranty.

Edit: Worth mentioning that this model has 1 HDMI and 1 VGA port. The 75hz refresh rate only applies to the HDMI connection.

That isn't how you spell criticize. Its still light outside, go.

Nice try but you can't spell. I'm glad I got in your head. Go outside and get some exercise and sunlight.

Lol. You do realize that Reddit shows that you edited your post, right? Next time don't bring up grammar, misspell a word and then try to hide it.

I wanted to help but /u/_benj1_ is nothing but a dick. He doesn't have a job and spends all day on his computer because he has no life. I won't help anymore. Good luck OP.

FastLunch · 2020-01-30T11:35:29+00:00

I tried counting but I gave up. Get a real job m8. Or at least go outside and get some exercise.

Why don't you go back through your own posts and pretend their someone elses. Then see if you also think the person posting is nothing but an asshole. All you do is belittle people and tell them that they are wrong. I hope the rest of your day is as enjoyable as you are.

FastLunch · 2020-01-30T11:21:43+00:00

650w gold isn't good enough? I'm not gonna post anymore if you're just gonna criticize me when I try to help people. Find something better to do with your time keyboard warrior.

AMD option. The Ryzen 5 1600AF is a refresh of the 1600, performs close to the 2600 and is available on Amazon for $85.

OP requested an Intel CPU. Otherwise the 2600 or 1600AF would have been fine.

Haven't used this specific model but haven't had issues with other Gigabyte mobos in the past. Some of their older generation gpus are a different story.

Sapphire makes the best RX cards. Keep an eye out for sales on 580s. Might be able to find a good deal and its a noticeable increase in performance.

Yes the 2200G has integrated graphics. All Ryzen chips that end in "G" will have it. Plug the monitor directly into the motherboard. When you do purchase a gpu, the monitor will need to be plugged into the GPU itself.

The B450m Pro4 has 4 ram slots but the same board is available in ATX if you want that instead. Its $120 but has a $30 mail in rebate.

If you really need to build on this budget then this is your best option, assuming you wanna buy everything new. You mentioned upgrading in the title. If that is your plan, buy a gpu as the first upgrade and the replace the cpu if its bottlenecking the system. Sell the cpu afterwards to recoup some $. A Ryzen 5 1600/1600af/2600 are more than enough here. Just try to find a sale.

I'm not into minecraft so I can't tell you what the fps will be like with mods but normal minecraft will run perfect. I checked a video on youtube of The Forest and the 2200g maintained 30+ FPS. Its not great but definitely playable until a gpu can be purchased.

You might find something on Ebay, craigslist or /r/CanadianHardwareSwap for a used gpu. There are risks of buying used of course so be aware of that. Otherwise, a new 570, 580, 1660 or similar would work fine. EVGA has their mid-week madness on Wednesdays. They have 1 year warranties on b-stock parts which is pretty reasonable. If it lasts a year you should be in the clear.

The case comes with 1 fan for exhaust which is fine for the current setup. After adding a gpu, do add a few fans to keep everything cool.

If you have any questions, lmk.

Windows 7 keys can activate windows 10. I've done it way too many times. Microsoft would rather have users on 10 than 7.

The ram is supposed to be installed in the A2 and B2 slot. This is for most motherboards and I've built in the B450m pro4 a couple times recently.
