add nvme and some 16 gb ram and it would come in under 300$ at microcenter

mb, ps, case and cpu cam in at 215$ plus tax.  people trying to foist 17 7700 with 1050 ti for 200$!


so now that i can edit this for typos i want to say i got the coolmaster q300l for 40$ and some thermlatake smart series 500 watt ps for i think another 42$  then an asrock 1520 for 53$ and finally th ryzen 5 4500 for 75$ all new.  And what i think i need to say is this, wwhen buying on a bidget going fooooooooooooooooooor the cheapest everything is not always the best idea.  I saved big on my MB but then it didnt have wifi or bluetooth or any extra x4 or higher pci slots for my nvme expansion card.  I got two slots, one x16 for the GC and a x1 where i can add a BT/WIFI card and thats it.  So i could have gotten all thos things in a MB and spent less money b/c i had to buy either an nvme to ssd adapter internal or to usb 3 external and in eithe case that adapter runs around 20$  a usb adapter for BT will run 15$ or for the x1 pcie slot closer to 30$ with BT/WiFi included.  So if i had bough a better MB i could have saved from buying 50$ in accessories.  Lesson learned i hope.

And then in my next post below i address the issue with the graphics card i bought.

is this a legit rx 580?  204sp?  thats the number of shaders in a rx 570 isnt it?
Also what do i need to do to get the right drivers working for amd again?
