Thanks.
So for a processor for the ASUS board (PRIME B350-PLUS),
I could go two ways:
(1) RYZEN 5 quad-core (or 6-core) and a third party
graphics card.
or:
(2) AMD A10-Series APU 7th Gen A10-9700
4-core CPU/6-core GPU and use the onboard
Integrated AMD Radeon R Series Graphics.
What are people's opinions?
Should I prefer one or the other?
Consider power consumption, costs and the amount of fans (noise).
That applies regardless of processor. I don't know power consumption
of Ryzen+basic graphics card vs APU, but I'd go with the Ryzen either
way.
When I used an additional PCIe graphics, it was a passive graphics, IOW
a graphics without a fan.
