I am building a new Computer To run Windows 11 Pro. It is for my 15 year old grandson to Use for School and he does Gaming also.
I using the ASUS TUF Gaming B550-PLUS WiFi II AMD AM4, motherbard, 128 GB memory and a AMD GPU. I looking at the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
(which has integrated graphic) and the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 GT saves me money vs buying a Pcie graphic card what is the a difference between the G & GT
I guess, I could say he is a medium gamer not a lot of difference games Minecraft and a couple others. Or should I be better off getting a graphic display card?
the Os is going to be Windows 11 pro. This build is for his Christmas

Thanks for your time reading this post and for input you might can offer
John

For a start, he does not need 128gb ram! 16 or 32 is more than enough!

For Minecraft a dedicated GPU is better than onboard.

I agree, 128gb of ram is only needed when the PC is for tasks like professional level high-end content creation and video editing using software like Adobe Premiere Pro.

The main problem with a 5500G is that it may not exist.

Are you really going with 128GB of RAM? Looks like that should cost about $200. 64GB should be more than needed, even if you're using integrated graphics. 32GB should be adequate. If you go with 64 or 32, be sure to do it with 2 DIMMs (for dual channel).

The 5500 GT and the 5600G (is that the real one?) both are listed with "Radeon Vega 7" graphics. They have the same core/thread count, but the 5600G clocks higher. (It's also an older CPU.)

Minecraft doesn't have strong graphics requirements. First person shooters with intensive 3D graphics would want a discrete card.

I have already Gotten the 128GB Ram and it was $200
I did find a a Ryzen 5 5600G on Newegg .com for $138.99 I found some used ones cheaper but i am afraid how much over clocking the gone thru new is worth it
I Looking at the Room space on this MB and I can use a PCI Display card and still add Cards up to 4 I also Looking a 1TB m.2 SSd Over standart WD Hard drive
how much memory would be adequate on a integrated card Thanks again For all you're input John

I probably wouldn't buy a used CPU. That may be pure bias.

To complicate your choice, if you get a discrete graphics card, you could buy a Ryzen 5 without an integrated GPU. (Not a G or GT suffix.)

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D might be the best gaming CPU that fits your motherboard. I don't see one available, new, at Newegg, but Amazon has it ($220).

You'd need a discrete graphics card with it. Unfortunately, that raises the budget considerably. An RTX 3060 12GB or RTX 4060 (8GB) would add about $300. I don't know what would be comparable in AMD cards.

I presume that you meant "discrete" (separate) rather than "integrated" (built-in, using the CPU).

bobkn you are right about Ryzen 7 I Talked to Asus support they said, that the Ryzen 7 5700G would be the best over the Ryzen 5. I order a Ryzen 7 5700 G . I Going to get a 700w power supply
I think that will be enough powerI am looking at 1 TB WD SSD, it's the same price a the standard 1TB HD
Thank for all the read and posted reply's

The 5700G is a 65W CPU.

A 700W PSU may be enough to handle that. ;-)

I doubt that most people would buy a 1TB HDD now. Larger ones for data storage, sure.
