Ryzen 3 3200g CPU + Integrated Graphics
I was looking for a Ryzen 3 3200g cpu with the vega integrated graphics online through best buy, amazon, newegg, etc. Every place I looked was either out of stock, over-priced by more than double the normal msrp (listed around $2-250), or both. I ended up googling the card and BLT popped up with it for sale at $99, which is the normal price for this cpu. They were out of stock also, but I was still able to place an order, which came out to around $101 w/ free shipping. They estimated they would get more stock in about 3 weeks, and it took only about a week, and then when they shipped it, it arrived 2 days earlier than estimated. Overall I am extremely pleased with my purchase, especially with the hassle it’s been trying to get components during this quarantine + silicon shortage. They (Stephanie) kept me up to date on the progress of my package through e-mail, and my cpu arrived earlier than predicted. It works extremely well with everything I’ve done so far on my computer, from videos, gaming at moderate graphics (auto-boosts to 4ghz and never gets hotter than 60°C), schoolwork, writing code in c++ and java, and general computer use. I haven’t tried overclocking the cpu or graphics, but I see no reason to put any extra strain since there’s only 2gb of memory for the graphics card, and it works anyway. But it’s nice to have the option to do so.
