Gigabyte b450m mobo
8gb ram
amd Ryzen 5
sapphire rx480x
500gig ssd and a 2tb hdd

We went for bang for buck. It should handle most stuff she throws at it, but given that she tends to binge Dungeons of the Endless, couldn’t justify a top top end card.
There were still a load of issues that would fox a newb. Having to reconfigure drives that the win 10 setup usb said were incompatible (MBR to GPT), front panel connectors that were marked in such tiny writing we had to take a macro image of it to decipher it., a 1.2 tb sector of the hdd that wasn’t recognised until I went deep into the settings and found the storage management panel. Building a pc is still not really for everyone, and annoyingly it seems totally unnecessary.
There’s no reason why any of these issues should be present in a new build. The default should surely be that they be in the correct state to slot right in.
