//OVERVEIW // PARTS//

This is my first build, and For that reason I chose a 500 dollar budget, but did end up going a little bit higher than that. The whole build was centered around the Ryzen 5 2400g with RX Vega 11 graphics. The processor offers adequate graphics for most AAA games, but it needs to be overclocked. At the time of building the processor was relatively new, so I went with The MSI B350 TOMAHAWK motherboard who's bios can be updated via a USB. Because the processor takes system memory I opted to go for two 4GB sticks of G.Skill ripjaws RAM clocked at 3200 MHz. This build will greatly benefit from the faster clocked RAM. Everything that I list beyond this point is optional. I went with one Silicon Power 128GB SSD to install windows, Chrome, and anything else I use the most, and I got a 1 tb W.D. Caviar Blue hard drive for mass storage of my files. I really do recommend getting an SSD, but if you don't mind waiting a little longer to boot up, a hard drive should do just fine. I got a Corsair - CX 450W Power supply, which is overkill for this build, but my intent was to get this so in the future when graphics card prices go down I could add a GTX 1060, and not have any problem. Because overclocking is almost crucial, I got a CRYORIG - M9 CPU cooler just for reassurance. that my CPU will not thermal throttle. The case was a Corsair Spec 02 Case just because I liked the simplistic look of it compared to others.

//SETUP//OVERCLOCKING//

Thanks for using my build, but let me help you out a bit further. Once you are in the bios, depending on time of filming you may need to update it. First get a flash drive with enough storage space to download the update on MSI's website https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350-TOMAHAWK (link to this specific motherboard) Once the bios is updated you can begin. You are going to want to head into the advanced setting instead of the EZ mode, so click F7 Once in advanced setting go to the settings tab, go to advanced, and look for integrated graphics configuration. Change the UMA Frame Buffer size to {2g}. When that's done go to the OC (overclock) tab and change the GFX clock frequency to 1575 MHz. After that set the DRAM frequency to 3200 MHz. And finally switch the CPU voltage to 1.2000 V (It might automatically set to that) After that go to settings once again and click Save & Exit.

//QUESTIONS//

//How can I make this build cheaper// If you wish to cut some corners to lower the price, leave out the SSD, don't get the cooler, get a cheaper power supply, or get the Ryzen 3 2200g CPU with RX Vega 8 graphics.

//What can I further add to this build?// If you wish to spend a bit more, Upgrade the RAM, get a larger SSD, or buy a GPU, although I advise to wait for prices to come down.

//Was there a theme to the build?// The motherboard that I had chosen happened to have red lighting, so I chose a Case with a red fan, and Ram with red accents. So BRED is the theme.

//Were there any problems concerning the build?// Other than updating the bios there were no issues that I had experienced. Cable management could have been a lot better, but it was 3 in the morning and I was not in the mood
