Hi i need to build a pc for my big brother. I've built my own, but that a few years ago, so I need a few tips.
The PC should primarily be used as an office PC, but the plan is in 2-3 years it must be upgraded to a gamer PC for his son. So right now it shouldn't be able to do that much, but would be nice if most parts can be used in a few years.
My thought for parts is:
Motherboard - ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus WiFi, S-AM4
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3400G
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz 16GB
PSU - Corsair RM550x 550W PSU
SSD - Corsair Force Series MP510 480GB M.2 SSD
My first question then is, does it need a CPU cooler other than the one included?
If you think another CPU cooler is needed, I think, Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 CPU Cooler, as it could well be used on a better CPU in a few years I think?
And Pc-partpicker says this:
“The Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Corsair RMx (2018) 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it.”
I see I can go up to RM750x and then it does not show that error, so is that the solution? Or is there another PSU that would be better?
I'm also in doubt with the case, I'm thinking the be quiet! Silent Base 601, but also considering the Phanteks Eclipse P400S, which would you recommend? or is there a quiet cabinet I may have overlooked which would be better??
I know many parts could be cheaper, but as I said, he would like the best possible upgrade option in 2-3 years.
Thanks for the reply in advance!
