Now that we have the Motherboard picked out. We need to look at a CPU to run it. The board we chose requires an AM4 Processor. Once you search AM4 you get a complete list of all the AMD AM4 Processors that Newegg sells.

We are choosing to go with the AMD Ryzen 3 3200G 4 Core. We chose to go with this one as it is the cheapest option available. As of this writing, it is selling for $94.99. It comes with the Wraith Stealth Cooler so we don’t need to worry about purchasing that. We will need to get thermal paste thought. You use the paste between this CPU and the Motherboard to help with cooling. If you don’t use the paste, you run a risk of damaging either the Processor and/or the Motherboard

HERE is the paste we chose. It only runs around $8.00 so don’t skimp and not purchase some.
