Today we will configure a PC with the Best processor with integrated graphics that exists to date, the Ryzen 7 8700G, the successor of the Ryzen 7 5700G and THE Ryzen 5 5600G, a processor that undoubtedly came to stay and that can be very interesting for those who want a latest generation team that allows them to work and play comfortably in 1080P, without the need for a dedicated graphics card.
But what advantages does this team bring compared to its predecessors? And above all, in what particular scenario should I mount a team with a Ryzen 7 8700G? So don’t miss any detail of this budget if you are interested in this configuration.
1. Processor: AMD Ryzen™ 7 8700G
This processor is very similar to the Ryzen 7 7700 in its characteristics, since both come with a very acceptable Stock dissipation, they have 8 Cores and 16 Threads, they do not heat up much and have similar frequencies, in the case of the 8700G 4.2 GHz in its base frequency and 5.1 GHz in its turbo frequency, however, the 8700G stands out in an important section, its integrated Radeon 780M graphics.
Yes, within this APU there is a Graphic chip with 12 Compute Units capable of reaching 2.9 GHz frequency and supporting up to 32GB of memory, and for us to understand the power of these integrated graphics, they are very similar to what a GTX 1060 offers us, being able to handle most of the titles at 1080P between 30-60 FPS, in medium or Low quality, and eSports type games at a competitive frame rate.
Unlike its Predecessors the 5700G and the 5600G that to achieve it we will have to lower the Resolution to 720P with the graphics at the minimum, so yes, with this processor you will be able to play your titles without problems if you are not very demanding, and if you add to that the performance increase of over 30% over the 5700G and its PCIe 4.0 version, make this APU the best option for a medium budget without dedicated graphics.
However, not everything is honey on flakes, since adding this powerful graphic meant a sacrifice in the L3 cache memory, which is only 16 MB, half of the Ryzen 7 7700 that brings 32MB, and although this difference may seem silly, it can decrease performance a bit around 10 to 16% when adding a dedicated video card.
So, if you are one of those picky with the bottleneck and you plan to combine this processor with a dedicated graphics card, I would recommend the Ryzen 7 7700 budget, now if you know that a dedicated graphics card is something very very future, and you want to play well from the beginning the Ryzen 7 8700G is ideal for you.

2. Motherboard: GIGABYTE B650M D3HP
For The motherboard we will use the same one as the Ryzen 7 7700, since this Gigabyte Motherboard adapts perfectly to the characteristics of this processor, 2.5 Gb ethernet, PCIe 4.0, the connections are very balanced, it has a good price and above all Q-Flash Plus to be able to update the BIOS, since for these processors it is essential.

3. RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series
In the case of RAM, we can’t just choose any without thinking, given that this processor benefits greatly from the speed that the memories offer, in addition to taking into account that we will need to balance the Memory Assigned to the Processor’s Video, with the memory that we will leave for the use of the System, being these G.SKILL Trident the sweet spot between what we need and an affordable price.
With them, we have a speed of 6400 MT/s, a latency of CL32 and the kit would be 2 Modules of 16 GB, for a total of 32, with them we would have more than Enough to Assign them a minimum of 8GB of VRAM which would be fair for 1080P, taking into account that you can expand that assignment if necessary up to 32GB, but for that, you would need of course other Additional modules for the system’s Ram memory.
- Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series, designed for AMD X670 Series Chipset with Ryzen 7000 Series CPU or newer
- Brand: G.Skill, Series: Trident Z5 NEO RGB, Model: F5-6400J3239G16GX2-TZ5NR

- Memory kits will boot at the SPD speed at default BIOS settings with compatible hardware.
- For memory kits with EXPO, enable EXPO profile in BIOS to reach the rated potential EXPO overclock speed of the memory kit, subject to the use of compatible hardware.
- Reaching the rated EXPO overclock speed and system stability will depend on the compatibility and capability of the motherboard and CPU used.

5. Power Supply: MSI MAG A650BN Or XPG Core Reactor 750W
For the Power Supply, we have 2 options Depending on what we plan to do in the future, if we want to Add a modest graphics card later, Maximum a 4070 from Nvidia, or an RX 7700 XT from AMD, or if we are simply not sure whether or not to add a dedicated graphics card, I would recommend using the MSI MAG of 650W, (although a slightly more powerful graphics card could be added, but it should be taken into account that the more load a power supply has, the greater its noise will be)
If we plan to place a Graphics card Superior to the ones mentioned before, it is advisable a power supply with more capacity like the XPG Core Reactor of 750W, so that it works at less load and we can balance the noise of our PC with the durability of the power supply in the future.
And with these components, we could easily assemble our powerful PC with a Ryzen 7 8700G, all that with an approximate of 700 dollars or less, leaving us a good Margin to buy an Accessible Micro ATX Case that would adapt without problems to this configuration, which, of course, I will leave you as always some recommendations, however, not everything ends Here since now I will talk to you about some important considerations.
– The Video Card
As we already know with the Ryzen 7 8700G you don’t need a Dedicated Video Card, but if later you plan to put one on it, it is advisable to raise the level and look for one that is Excellent for 1440P or 4K resolutions, given that the loss of FPS that is had with this processor is imperceptible the higher the resolution is, given that the greatest load is taken by the Video Card.
– The heatsink
The heatsink of the Ryzen 7 8700G covers 100% of the processor’s expectations and for this case, it is not necessary to change it in the future, So if you want to do it for aesthetics you don’t need a very expensive one, and you can put this point as the last on the list of priorities.
