The Ryzen 3 3200G<\/a> Is Not Worth your money. \"\"<\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

Recently, I found out that the desktop world is much better than being on a laptop<\/strong>. For a couple of years, I used a laptop from high school<\/strong>, and I noticed it was running very slow<\/strong>. After talking to a lot of IT people<\/strong>, they all told me to get a desktop system<\/strong>. They said it would be a little more expensive, but very worth it in the end<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The only problem is that I\u2019m broke<\/strong> and don\u2019t have money for a really expensive computer, so I decided to go as cheap as possible<\/strong> and oh boy, was I wrong<\/strong>. I\u2019ve had the worst experience and ended up spending more money than I thought.<\/strong> This was a big mistake, and I hope nobody else does what I did.<\/p>\n

To start, I bought the MSI B550-A-Pro <\/a>motherboard. I had heard very good things<\/strong> about this board, and I still think it was a good option<\/strong>. I paid $90 for it<\/strong>, and I like the sleek design. Overall, I think it\u2019s a pretty solid motherboard.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, where I went wrong<\/strong> was buying the AMD Ryzen 3 3200G<\/a>, which I paid $64.40 for on Amazon.<\/a> I thought, \u201cThat\u2019s a good deal<\/strong> I\u2019ll jump on that.\u201d It was the cheapest CPU<\/strong> that would fit my motherboard<\/strong>, and I didn\u2019t want to buy used because I\u2019ve had bad experiences with that before. However, this was a really bad purchase<\/strong> that I\u2019ve learned from.<\/p>\n
