You don't have enough budget to fit everything. This is the cheapest I can think of but still overshoots your budget by 10%
~33k
Ryzen 2200G
Gigabyte B350M D3H
Corsair DDR4 4GB
WD Blue 7200 rpm 1TB
Antec BP series 450w
Generic cabinet
Logitech KB & Mouse combo
Dell E2219HN

If you still want to fit everything under/around your budget, go for 19" screen.

8GB Ram is must nowdays..
I have seen Asrock a320m motherboard which has max 4GB shared graphic memory. Any suggestions on that ?

Yeah, but you don't have sufficient budget.
Which motherboard shares 4 gigs for iGPU? Any link to the motherboard?

Thanks for the link.
I don't know if it's odd one out or typo. May be if any one owns this board can clarify with absolute certainty.

Googled. Third party sites info say it's 2GB. So I will take that official site info is wrong in that regard.

^^It is irrelevant,igpu uses same ram as system so whether you allocate 1gb,2gb,4gb it is all the same with no effect on igpu performance except maybe for some games which refuse to launch if they detect vram to be less than a certain limit(& I don't think there is any game that won't even launch at 2gb detected vram if all other minimum requirements are met).

P.S. if a game demands more than 2gb then that will be automatically taken from any free system ram if igpu supports it.Though I doubt it because even a 1050Ti requires more than 2gb vram in certain situations only & 2200/2400g graphics is a bit behind 1050Ti.

Hi all,

Budget extended to 40K. Do we have to stick to Ryzen 2200G or go for Ryzen 5 2400G ?
