RAM compatible with the vanquish 7 v1

Ok so i plan on buying the vanquish 7 v1 then upgrade it and i want some help choosing what RAM , Graph card , and SSD to use.

p.s:i know i will see people saying bys . no i like the warranty
and windows, so i won't bms.

Clarified.

Like Snaike said on the RAM upgrade. On the GPU, it still depends what resolution you're going to game at and what quality you're aiming for. Medium to high at 1080p, you may be fine with a 1050 Ti equivalent. For at or very near max, you'd need a 1060, etc. By the time you're ready, the new line of Nvidia cards may be on the market!

I would recommend you end up with at least 250 GB SSD for your Windows drive. 500 would be better if you can swing it. The improvement over an HDD will impress you. Games and data can stay on your Vanquish HDD. Samsung is the leading brand name these days, but the other guys can build a decent drive, too. When you get around to it, just look at some reviews and pick one you're comfortable with.

Hope this is helpful.

p.s. Still looking for a final config for my pc and I emailed DS about subbing a different case, but not have heard anything. I'd better try again.

I plan on buying :Acer S220HQL Monitor
                  CORSAIR HS50 headset
                  Cougar Deathfire EX combo
Are they good budget peripherals?

thx i don't really care about having max settings but i want fps.
And like i won't use it to play graphic intensive games .

here's a performance chart on the integrated graphics of the RX Vega 11:

https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_5_2400G_Vega_11/12.html

i can see you're really on a tight budget, so my suggestions would be to focus on the essentials for usage (that being gaming it seems).  that means: gpu/cpu/mobo/ram and a good monitor.  you can add budget storage (capacity being a priority in your case so you can store more games or if you don't intend to have a lot of games you can focus on speed and get a budget oriented ssd with smaller capacity.). 

the Ryzen 5 2400G (`$159) is prob the best budget cpu you can go with right now.  AMD option also mean you don't have to buy more expensive mobos in order to oc the proc.  you can also choose to go with the integrated graphics on this chip. the gaming performance will vary depending on the game/monitor resolution/game settings/etc. but you can expect to see anywhere from 30-70 FPS in most modern titles @1080p/FullHD. 

if you choose to go with a dedicated graphics card, the Radeon RX 580 or GTX 1060 would be my choices for "Best Full HD" graphics.  the 1060 is a little cheaper right now and a little better imo.  look to spend ~$240 here. 

Motherboard: do you need wi-fi?  selection always depends on the user's needs as there are a plethora of features options.  best to do your own research here.  a good all around budget consideration to pair with the cpu above would be: ASRock X370 Killer SLI/AC for $133.17.  comparable oc'ing ability to more expensive boards, enhanced memory compatibility, wi-fi, etc. 

as for system memory (RAM): 8GB min. 16GB preferred.  Patriot Viper 4 DDR4 16GB kit for $189.99 on Newegg. 

Monitor:  are you stuck to an under $200 budget?  Asus VG245H is a budget Free Sync low lag gaming monitor.  75Hz, dual HDMI inputs, low blue light, flicker free for $171.99 (Newegg).   a similar and cheaper option is the ACER GF246 for $143.61.

if you're referring to the memory size that's configured in the BIOS.  they're just showing the reader how it performs at each of those settings.  the options range from: 32MB to 2GB.  so the iGPU on the chip is equivalent to a 2GB dedicated add in card.  in other words, this iGPU compares to something like a GT 1030 vid card in overall performance. 

if i knew the kinds of games you wanted to play i could give more specific recommendations.  suffice to say that if you just want to use the integrated graphics you'll be fine in games that are more cpu bound (league of legends, DOTA, minecraft, etc.).  graphically intensive games like BF1 will only be playable at the lowest settings @1080p resolution.  a benefit of this processor is that you can oc it one the included air cooler and that it doesn't require an upgraded motherboard specific to overclocking.  faster clock speeds will increase the gaming performance as well.  i am, however, unfamiliar with overclocking these new AMD procs as i've been on Intel procs since AMD was the single core king.

Yes, absolutely. That seems to me to be a fine monitor choice at your price point. db188 has named a couple others a little bigger, a little more expensive. He's given you some great ideas and suggestions. Seems to me you are still budget limited, but you will eventually want to shoot for his ideas for the best experience.

The first and foremost thing you want to save up for is a video card. That will give you the most noticeable improvement. Your CPU (the Ryzen 5 2400 in the Vanquish One) can handle any single card. You are well positioned to have a lot of options because the newest Nvidia cards are due out fairly soon.
