Just bought a bunch of parts to build a PC and have no idea what I'm doing

also, I really have no idea what I'm doing, I may very well regret this decision in the future.
One day I just got tired of this shit HP laptop that kills every few hours and lags like shit, and decided to build my own with quality parts, not proprietary dogshit.

So you buy a PC that's slower, more power hungry and will be obsolete sooner. Smart investment

Instead of buying a video card, just buy Rizon with a newer motherboard and faster RAM. The CPU has a GPU in it. In two years that video card will be outdated and you'll be stuck with DDR3 and a slower, more power hungry, old CPU.

I just did the math based on the parts I've bought to a comparable Ryzen system, and the Ryzen costs $240 more. My shit-tier FX build all together costs $350.

You do know you don't need a discreet video card with Rizen, right?

I'm considering doing that now that you mention it, but I'm being very honest here, the only games I care about are The Elder Scrolls, all the rest is shit IMO.

had no idea. So all the Ryzen CPU's come with a GPU, regardless of size?

Yes. It's what AMD calls an APU CPU+GPU. Pretty much every Intel CPU also has a GPU built in as well. You don't need to buy the fastest CPU out there, but its not something I would skimp on. The reason being, GPUs are progressing much faster so in two years it would be considered old anyway. A good CPU could last 4+ years.

That sounds like integrated graphics, I thought those were shit? So the Ryzen CPU+GPU has as much graphics processing power as a $100-150 card?

If you don't get a win 10 key you will be able to do anything. After 90 days you will have a watermark that you can remove by downloading an application. You don't need to torrent it Microsoft has USB installer inline for free as long as you have another pc running windows and a 4gb USB drive

Actually ignore that. I though all Ryzen were APUs, but I'm wrong. I'll let someone else familiar with AMD speak.
