Some advice on a scratch buikld with AMD Athlon 3000G
Lots of old hardware problems for me these days.
I'd like to start a new build before I lose my backup rig to something unforseen.
Some time ago I was following Low Spec Gamer on Youtube. The AMD Athlon 3000G with a very low end motherboard will meet any needs I have. I understand that the Athlon 3000G has graphics. The goal here is to get a VGA compatible
motherboard plus a stick of memory to just get another system running. MSI is a trusted motherboard brand for me but it seems that Asrock has the bottom price. I have no interest in gaming, Low Spec Gamer was just that: a place to see low end builds which the guy tweaks up.
And it should work with Windows 7 which I've never moved from to a higher version. It should have no quirks doing that.
I've looked at partpicker but I'm in here to establish a place where I can ask my questions.
Used product seems as high as new. And I have not had to return any motherboard I've ever gotten as dead new or used.
NewEgg is where I've gotten most of things I have bought as new.
If this is the wrong forum for entry level custom build questions, please advise.
