Build Mid level Gaming PC in 50K Budget - AMD Ryzen 5 5600G

Here I just shared my experience of building a PC with a minimum budget. Here my specifications,

Processor : AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics (APU)

Motherboard : Gigabyte B550

RAM : Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 

Hard Disk : 256GB NVM 

SMPS : Intex 450W SMPS

Cabinet : Fingers PowerTower C8 Full Tower

Why did I choose APU ?

Basically I'm building a PC for both purposes like Productivity and Gaming. In the current situation, We can't build PCs with CPU and Graphics Card at an affordable price. Due to silicon shortage, the graphic card prices are high. So I picked the APU's.

Why did I choose AMD Ryzen 5600G APU specifically ?

Yes, We have AMD Ryzen 3400G APU at lower prices with good performance. If I build the PC with 3400G, Maybe later if I have potential to add a Graphic card, that's not helpful here. Because it create a bottleneck, due to low CPU cores and Threads. So I picked AMD Ryzen 5600G. Because It has little high CPU cores and Threads. 

Gaming Performance

As of now, I just played few games 

1. Cricket 19
2. Cricket 22
3. FIFA 22
4. PUBG: Battlegrounds
5. GTA V
6. Euro Truck Simulator 2
7. Race Room Racing Experience

AMD 5600G performed very well and was able to play with 60FPS. Here I attached some videos that I played with this PC. If you want, check it out.

1. Cricket 19 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g7Gjr6sfb8)
2. FIFA 22 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEpwRlsj_QA)

Productivity :

Basically I'm working as a software engineer. So I installed so many software's for development purposes. Here is the list of the software installed in this PC.

1. Android Studio
2. Microsoft Visual Studio
3. Eclipse 
4. Node
5. Python
6. Java

AMD 5600G  performed very well on the productivity side as well. There are no lag's and also we can access multiple software at the time without any slowness.

How to Increase the dedicated VRAM/GPU memory using BIOS (Gigabyte B550)

Steps to Increase the AMD Ryzen and Intel GPU/Video Memory in Gigabyte B550 Motherboard using BIOS ( Windows 10 ) :

I'm using AMD Ryzen 5 5600G ( Inbuild GPU) processor. But it suitable for both AMD and Intel Processors. 

# Start/Restart System, Press F12 to enter into the Select Boot Device. Then Click Enter Setup

# By default, BIOS opened in Easy Mode. Press F2 to Change Easy Mode to Advanced Mode.

# Move to the Settings Tab and Select IO Ports

# Then Select Integrated Graphics and Change Auto to Forces

# Now you can see the UMA Mode next to the Integrated Graphics. Change the UMA Mode from Auto to UMA Specified. 

# Now Change the UMA Frame Buffer Size from Auto to 2GB. We don't have a limit to select buffer size. Sometimes It's show the size upto 2GB, It's because of your mode. If you need to increase to 4GB, then need to changes mode CSM to UEFI. In my use case, 2GB is enough for me. If you want higher, then better you can select 4GB or 8GB( I prefer 2GB for 8GB ram and 4GB for 16GB ram specs ).  

# Then Move to the Save & Exit tab and Select Save and Exit Setup. Then Click Yes.

After the system restarted. Check the updated changes in Display adapter properties. 

# Right click desktop and Select Display Settings.

# Click Advanced display settings and Click Display adapter properties.

# There you can see the updated Video Memory. 

By default,

AMD Ryzen Series provides 512MB Video Memory.

Intel provides 128MB video Memory.

# If you have an AMD Ryzen GPU series processor means, we can check the video memory in the task manager too.

Boost up your system speed using Pendrive - Windows ReadyBoost

Is this possible to speedup your PC/Laptop using pendrive ?

Yes, we can speed up with pendrive. I will provide the steps to configure the pendrive as added cache memory for the system.

Steps,

1. Insert your pendrive in PC (Buy a New Pendrive) and wait for it to be ready to access.

2. Need to do the quick format. Most of the removable disks are configured in the FAT32 filesystem.

3. If you want you can change the file system as NTFS, change during the format. If it's NTFS, we can utilize full space for boostup. otherwise we can use partial space.

4. Next right click the pendrive and click properties. Then navigate to the ReadyBoost tab.

5. Here you are able to set the space limit to windows use for performance.

6. Select Dedicate this device to ReadyBoost and Click Apply and Ok.

7. Now check your pendrive and it has a file ReadyBoost. Finally your pendrive is going to act as a System cache memory to boost up the performance.

If you want to remove/freeup the pendrive form ReadyBoost, Select Do not use this device instead of Dedicate this device to ReadyBoost and Click Apply and Ok. 

It's mostly suitable for low variant and old set of configuration PC's. I tried the same things with my PC, I can see the improvement. Could you try this and share your experience in comments. Check here for increase system performance. Thanks!
