Hey everyone! I'm looking for some help with building two cheap PCs for our office staff. The main tasks they'll be doing are browsing, using MS Office, and handling finance-related software. So far, I'm considering the Ryzen 3 3200G because we're on a tight budget. I have a couple of questions: 1. Is there any other processor out there that offers better performance within the same price range? I want to avoid spending on a dedicated GPU. 2. If I stick with the 3200G, what's a good budget motherboard to pair it with? Thanks a ton for your help!

I've always gone for custom builds too after doing a bit of homework, but I'm open to checking out prebuilt options. Any thoughts or advice on the main question you could share?
Have you thought about getting a budget prebuilt mini PC instead? Sometimes building can end up being more expensive than just going the prebuilt route.
You might want to consider the Ryzen 5600G or Intel i5 12400. They both offer better performance, which could really help your staff out.
I think it's really important you clarify your budget, because those alternatives can add up quickly.
The 5600G is about 15-20% more costly, and the i5 is even pricier by 30-40%, so keep that in mind if you're sticking to a budget.
