    Kildare, but I should be ok

    I'm really wanting to use the AMD - Ryzen 5 2400G 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor with this build as I'm very impressed with all it has to offer. (I have heard of issues with certain boards and bios though)

    Would also be looking for it to be a mini itx build with a further option down the road to add graphics card.

    Thanks all for any help.

    Thanks for all the advice guys I could probably stretch to 680 euro given the fact of the evga bundles available I'd be mad to not go for it.

    So what do you think of this build in the screenshot?
    All parts seem to be compatible anyway.

    No point in going for 2400G if you're getting a 1050 Ti - save a few quid and get at Ryzen 5-1500X instead.

    I'd avoid the Cooler Master 110 & still recommend the Riotoro CR280; better component compatibility, cooling & ease of building.

    Not sure why you're going for a ROG motherboard; it's just added cost. But buy it if you like the look I guess.
