🔍 COMPONENT ANALYSIS

🧠 CPU – AMD Ryzen 7 5700G

• 8 cores / 16 threads, Zen 3 architecture

• Built-in Radeon Vega 8 graphics (improved over Vega 7)

• One of the most powerful APUs on the market

✅ Excellent for productivity, multitasking, and everyday use
✅ Best-in-class iGPU performance (among APUs)
⚠️ No PCIe 4.0 support (since it’s an APU)

---

❄️ Cooler – Antec A30 Pro

• Basic tower cooler, decent for 65W CPUs like the 5700G

• Better than stock in terms of noise and airflow

✅ Acceptable for this CPU if not overclocked
⚠️ May get warm or noisy under load
🔧 Optional upgrade: DeepCool AG400 / ID-Cooling SE-224 / Arctic Freezer A13X

---

🧩 Motherboard – ASUS Prime B450M-A II

• Solid budget AM4 board with decent VRMs for the price

• BIOS support for Ryzen 5000 series (with update)

• Supports up to 128GB DDR4, 3200 MHz

✅ Good compatibility with Ryzen 5700G
✅ Has M.2 slot, decent I/O
⚠️ No PCIe Gen 4, limited future expandability

---

🧠 RAM – 16GB DDR4 3200 MHz (2×8GB)

• Perfect dual-channel configuration for maximizing APU performance

• 3200 MHz is ideal speed for Vega graphics

✅ Best config for an iGPU setup
🔧 Upgrade to 32GB only if doing heavy multitasking, streaming, or video editing

---

💾 Storage – 250GB NVMe SSD

• NVMe speeds are fast, but 250GB is too small for modern usage

⚠️ Quickly fills with Windows, apps, and 2–3 games
🔧 Immediate upgrade recommended: Add a 1TB SSD (SATA or NVMe)

---

🎮 Graphics – Radeon Vega 8 (Integrated)

• Among the fastest iGPUs, especially with dual-channel RAM

• Comparable to a GT 1030 GDDR5 or slightly better

• Fine for light 720p–1080p gaming, especially eSports or older titles

✅ Excellent for eSports, retro, and older AAA games
❌ Not suitable for modern AAA games without a dedicated GPU

---

🔌 PSU – Raidmax XTB 450W

• Very low-end, generic PSU with questionable reliability

• No 80+ certification and poor long-term stability

⚠️ Unsafe for GPU upgrades
⚠️ May be fine for current iGPU-only use, but should be replaced soon
🔧 Upgrade to: Corsair CV550 / Cooler Master MWE 550 / MSI A650BNL

---

💨 Case – ADR 5044 RGB

• Likely a budget RGB case with airflow limitations

• Acceptable for low-power APU setup

✅ Aesthetic appeal and basic ventilation
⚠️ Check for proper airflow (front intake / rear exhaust fan setup)

---

🔧 RECOMMENDED UPGRADES

✅ FINAL VERDICT

This is a powerful APU build for casual gamers and multitaskers who don’t want to buy a GPU yet. The Ryzen 7 5700G gives excellent CPU power and a surprisingly capable iGPU — especially when paired with dual-channel 3200 MHz RAM like in your setup.

It’s a strong system for:

• Casual/eSports gaming

• Work-from-home & productivity

• Streaming, light editing

• Future GPU upgrades (with a better PSU)
