I am building a pc and have bought a load of parts already I have a ryzen3 3200g to go into a Asrock b450m Pro I have 16gb of 3200mhz ram a ssd 500gb and a 500w power supply for now I am currently looking for a graphics card the pc is for my son at Christmas and I am a gamer but my pc building knowledge is zero my son has picked the parts and says they should be fine but don't want him to have nothing to do after we have put it together and it possibly dose not work, I have since looked on pc part picker and it says might not be compatible parts the cpu and motherboard so like I say am panicking a little for him, all the vids on youtube of this same build do not mention any conflicts in hardware and are basically showing it fine so don't know where I stand any help would be much appreciated thanks

I am not 100% that the Asrock B450 board will accept 3rd gen Ryzen, I only know the MSI MAX boards will work out the box... What sort of budget are you looking to spend on the GPU?
You may need to update the bios on the motherboard before it will accept the 3200g, which would require you to have an existing and supported CPU to put into the motherboard.
It's worth pointing out that if you're getting a separate GPU anyway, that CPU is probably a poor choice. You pay a little bit more for them compared to similarly specced Ryzen's because they come with onboard graphics, which you wont actually be needing. You'd be better off having a look around for a Ryzen 2600 or similar, which can be found for around £80-100 if you shop around. I wouldn't be afraid to go second hand for the processor in this case, check the Facebook market place, the bay etc. The 2600 will work out of the box and offer better performance than the 3200G.

Ask whichever retailer your buying from to upgrade it for you. Most will be fine doing so with no additional charges.
