Need help with parts. Max Budget - $400
Hello everyone. I want to build my own PC. I am still learning what parts can do. I want to build a PC that can runs the Sims 4 and Minecraft smooth and playable and lasts for few years.

So thankfully both those games are extremely light graphics wise, and you could get away with using a Ryzen 3 3200G or a Ryzen 5 3400G. However, the 3400G would probably stretch that budget a little too far and put you over $400 if you build it yourself. If you use the 3200G, you could do something like this:

However, keep in mind that this does not include Windows. Alternatively, you could go with our pre-built Powerspec B244

The Powerspec includes the 3400G and Windows, and the 3400G will be a little better for long-term use. Just remember that the integrated graphics on these Ryzen G CPUs is good for light gaming like Minecraft and the Sims, but isn't suited to more demanding titles.
