AMD Ryzen 5 4600G or AMD Ryzen 5 5500 if you have a Gpu both around 100$ right now in Eu so probably cheaper in US
there are many option for mobos ~100 euros for am4 just make sure they support the cpu and dont need bios update
and you can easily pick a 16 kit of ram for 40-50 so it should be in ur budget
Personally i wouldnt try to find a ddr3 cpu and mobo right now cause you will probably have issues again if u need a good one for your tasks
You can always try used too for cheaper prices since probably lots of people will switch to the new stuff

get 5500 and not 4600g..

5600g - do not buy an MSI board with a 5000 series, not worth it

First of all they said ddr3 ram

#

Why are you suggesting ddr4 ram configurations 🙂

@cerulean roost but yeah it's not DDR 3 but at this point I don't know if I'd upgrade to an older ddr3 system when you can get a newer modern system. Unless I was buying used or something maybe.

#

@celest mantle MSI boards that bad? Lol

cerulean roost
#

B450 series was pretty solid

#

I have a friend all he'll buy is the godlike board from msi lol@cerulean roost

#

Its a waste of money

river verge
#

I know right!?

cerulean roost
#

Aren't those boards like 700 dollars

river verge
#

More like 1000 now

cerulean roost
#

Basically the same cost as a computer could be

#

Yup it's pretty funny.. he makes excuses about why he needs it but.. I know why... Street cred lol

cerulean roost
#

What street cred for who? Tech Jesus?

@tender phoenix kinda feel the same, they have all the nicer new features and you have some upgrade path if you're buying a cheaper system

#

Support for newer cards without a bottleneck for now too

tender phoenix
#

yeah, for ddr3 youre stuck on 4th gen intel

cerulean roost
#

Is 4th gen the last one to use ddr3?

tender phoenix
#

i dont think so i checked wrong

tender phoenix
#

might be 9th gen

#

not sure

river verge
#

Yeah an Intel build might actually be better if you could get the budget to stretch enough

#

Maybe something like that?

6th gen and 7th gen did but it ended up dying because of ddr4

#

Idk if there are boards that exist
