The Ryzen 3 3200G Is Not Worth Your Money<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

The only problem is that I\u2019m broke and don\u2019t have money for a really expensive computer, so I decided to go as cheap as possible \u2014 and oh boy, was I wrong. I\u2019ve had the worst experience and ended up spending more money than I thought. 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 motherboard<\/strong>. I had heard very good things about this board, and I still think it was a good option. I paid $90 for it, and I like the sleek design. Overall, I think it\u2019s a pretty solid motherboard.<\/p>\n

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

Here are the CPU specifications<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
