Question Ryzen 5 7500f

[Greyreef]

I have a Ryzen5 7500f cpu and what are suggestions for what motherboard and general set up to get. This is mainly an everyday computer with minimal gaming done on it.

I don't think the 7500f is a good CPU for general use. It doesn't have integrated graphics so you will need to buy a dedicated GPU. That's a large expense just for general use. Any chance you can exchange it for another CPU?

I'm not worried about the GPU cost that much.

How important is the upgrade path to you? I.E. do you see yourself dropping in a 12-16 core CPU some day? If not, a cheap A620 or B650 board and $80-$85 32GB kit of 6000MT/s is plenty for a daily driver.

All of those vid cards are overpriced. You can get a used OEM pull on Ebay for $20.

While I was looking at the cards, I found the most unusual looking one: https://www.newegg.com/evga-geforce-gt-710-01g-p3-2716-kr/p/N82E16814487218

EVGA sure loved bucking the trend.

"everyday computer with minimal gaming" and no integrated GPU? How much was the price difference between that CPU and one with IGP to justify purchasing a low end Video Card for doing essencially nothing?

For low-resource or casual gaming + everything else, I toss something like this in:

HP AMD Radeon RX 550 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card - HDMI, DisplayPort | eBay

HP AMD Radeon RX 550 4GB GDDR5. 4GB of GDDR5 VRAM is good for everything from a display adapter, to gaming, and even video processing. The Lexa PRO die is built on Global Foundries 14nm process making it both fast and efficient.

Or this

Dell NDRG5 AMD Radeon RX 550 4GB GDDR5 Full sized video Card DP & 2 x Mini DP | eBay

Pulled from working system. In very good condition.
