How to Build an AMD Gaming PC 2020 (Step By Step): Ryzen 3 1200 + RX 570 8GB
32How to Build an AMD Gaming PC 2020 (Step By Step): Ryzen 3 1200 + RX 570 8GB. A Summit Ridge (Zen+) building process with AMD's Ryzen 3 1200 first generation. This build is for the tight budget PC gamer that can play PC games in 1920x1080 resolution at least @45~60 FPS or higher. It varies per game's spec hardware requirements.
* I'll include short videos that carry on, 'maybe' other steps, like how to overclock the RAM and CPU with this MOBO. Technically the concepts 'might' remain similar to the B450 series and B550 MOBO series.
If you have any questions about the build then please don't hesitate to ask!
* New video cards are overpriced today. Either wait by Q2-Q4 2021 and see how prices become. Or consider the used market but research the product, its seller, buyer/seller feedback, and their policy.
