I paired this with a board that included memory and got a am5 system for $317

Major upgrade from my current intel ddr3 i7-4790K

Pretty much is still slick 😛
This an Entry level system is for a user that has all the other parts. Yes the cpu is a crippled lost lead bait and switch tech with its bottleneck gpu performance and 4.0 pci but you get a low power draw system for your old psu and 850 chipset with room to grow. Only wish it was atx board.

I looked at that board with these parts but I was concerned about the reviews concerning the vrm problems for future cpu upgrades. By the way the release date of this board is January 2025 and has very few reviews so that is a minus.
as you should be. these cheap boards are meant for APUs. they have a tiny VRM for the CPU and a large VRM (relatively speaking) for the iGPU. that board is not meant for a proper ryzen CPU, like a 9700X for example
VRM Meaning in Computers
VRM stands for Voltage Regulator Module. In computers, a VRM is a crucial component found on motherboards and graphics cards. Its primary function is to convert and regulate the higher voltage supplied by the power supply unit (typically 12V or 5V) down to the much lower, precise voltages required by sensitive components like the CPU and GPU
iGPU Meaning in Computers
iGPU stands for integrated Graphics Processing Unit. It refers to a graphics processor that is built directly into the same chip as the CPU (Central Processing Unit) or, in some cases, into the motherboard itself. Unlike dedicated (or discrete) GPUs, which are separate hardware components with their own memory, iGPUs share system RAM with the CPU and do not have dedicated video memory.

Thank for the feedback and I nfo. I had to look up all those meanings in perplexity I was not aware of the different setups.

You have to be close enough to a microcenter though. That's only in store.
7600x has a small igpu that is about the level of the Intel desktop chip igpu. 8500g is a lot more igpu and less CPU power.
