Default End of new build saga

As I said in previous post I gave my new build z390, i7 8700 build to my
son in exchange for his old i7 950 Gigabyte x58 system.
Well I played around with the old box for a week or so then found it was
not to my liking, That board has been rather troublesome for the last 9
years, So I decided that's enough, Out you go.
Not wanting to spend another $1000+ dollars I did a fair amount of
research and decided to do something I have never done before.

Try an AMD CPU, so I ordered An AMD Ryzen 5 3400G CPU With onboard
Vega 11 graphics and Wraith Spire cooler, an Asus B450 F motherboard
and 16 GB of Corsair 1600 MHZ memory All for abut $450.
Put it all together in the same Coolermaster CM 690 II case and power
supply.

Everything fired up nicely so I installed a fresh copy of Windows-10
ver 1903 and all was good, I had to give Microsoft my 8.1 key to activate.
I just did a benchmark using Half-Life lost coast test demo and am
getting 256 FPS, So all looks great.
Surely this shoulb be my last build (I hope not) :-)

Rene
