That should work just fine, they are compatible both ways actually.

FYI, the built in Intel is "ok" even with ~some light gaming (I know not your use), so pretty much anything daily use, it works just fine, if you'd choose that option and attempt waiting on video card prices to come back down (of course Bitcoins etc. would have to settle down/crash more first). I have a Playstation currently for company, but I've been picking up some sales on more modern games. Cheaper, and no more buying systems and new games every time, they will work with whatever computer I have. It's "handy" to have something that the kids like to keep them occupied, and modern.

I like what I have, but there wasn't much reason I didn't go with Ryzen. One to go AMD would have been upgradability since they said they will use the same slot a few years, but I've never upgraded CPUs in my builds, I usually keep them 7 or so years, by then I like to do more than the cpu.

Also, integrated graphics should be coming soon with AMD.

Edit: I see you said you decided on Ryzen above, they are good chips. Motherboards are cheaper too, so with a cheaper graphics card, price difference shouldn't be that much.


Thanks for the informative reply. I read that the Ryzen with the integrated graphics will be coming out on February 14. I may consider waiting for it. I also decided to buy a new case rather than to use the existing one. This way I will have a backup computer. If I would use the present ones, the parts would never stay intact.
