Medium PC Specs for my mate

[bulldog147]

My mate don't want to buy PCI graphic card. All he want is good AMD4 processor including inbuilt graphic for small video edit, streaming online, listen to music and more important he want NVMe on PCIe 3.0 for a cheaper budget no more than £420. He using his own case, power supply 650W and exchange to new spec. He don't play games either.

So, are these look ok for him below?

You could probably pick up a cheap GPU on the members market for next to nothing since he doesn't play games.

The B450 Elite isn't the best tbh, I'd take an Asrock Pro 4 over it anyday. You can also get the MSI B450-A Pro Max for the same price as the Gigabyte board and it's a good deal better.

Thanks Gary2233 but 3 of them out of stock? I will add on the wish list and wait until they come back with more in stock. My mate say the one you pick one are spot on perfect for his spec

 

[Gray2233]

The GPU definitely is, the rest were showing in stock for me par the RAM which has an ETA.

As I said, you're probably best off asking in the members market for a cheap GPU since he doesn't game.

Yeah as the motherboard is out of stock at the moment https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asrock-b450-pro4-socket-am4-ddr4-atx-motherboard-mb-16b-ak.html

 

[Gray2233]

Wonder if the last one just went? lol...

It's a nightmare finding stock at the moment for computer parts.

I agree as ocuk normal order more parts arrived before the stock was low I can see many motherboard sold out quickly
