Main use case will be getting through my CS degree and some freelance video editing. Budget is around 1200 dollars, but will go till 1500 if absolutely necessary. Was hoping to get the following specs: GPU: GeForce 1650Ti or better RAM: 16GB + Screen: 1080p, matte finish, 15” or 13” Storage: 512GB+ SSD Build: portable/sturdy, no gamery aesthetic, should be able to be carried around campus without much of a hassle. Does anyone have any suggestions?

It will be run off the Intel iGPU. Very few Adobe CC applications make good use of a GPU, which is specifically why I chose a Mobo with 3 display outputs. About the RAM- I agree.

The parts list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/s7LqHh What do you think? Chose the CPU because: 6 cores will not be mainstream for a while Higher clock speeds are more important than core count Overall great price/performance Chose CPU cooler because: Intel stock cooler is potato quality $20 is all the budget I have for cooling Got a lot of recommendations for the Cryorig M9i Chose motherboard because: It has great features at an expensive price: 4 DIMM slots USB Type-C 2*M.2 slots Support for upto three monitors from integrated graphics B360 is good enough, because I don't think I will ever need RAID or SLI Chose RAM because: While 8GB would have been enough, 16GB dual channel seems good for the future Chose higher speed RAM although Intel does not feed on it because it's currently 5 dollars more expensive Chose SSD because: NVME is currently overkill, and normal SATA will do fine 500GB is decent for now, and can be upgraded later Chose case because: It generally sells for $10 less, making it a great buy It has dust magnets, 2*2.5" drive bays, an included blue LED fan, modular I/O, and a transparent panel Chose PSU because: Wanted at least 80+ Bronze, and at least semi-modularity from a reputable brand Chose OS because: Windows 10 Pro is a bad idea The full version is also useful, so that I can transfer it across motherboards Chose case fan because: Got recommendations for it Looks decent Good price/performance Chose monitor because: I had money to spare since my build itself looked solid, so I went with a 1440p panel I did not want a huge display, so that I could see everything at a time 60Hz refresh rate is not a concern Chose speaker because: Cheapest 2.1 channel speaker Chose webcam because: 1080p is a nice boost for video calling as compared to 720p Was inexpensive, and had good reviews on Amazon Chose microphone because: It was cheap, looked good and had decent reviews I am actively looking for replacements for this part because I have an extra headphone jack on my Marshall 2 headphones. Is there an attachable microphone that I can get that stays there and hangs on? What do you think of this build? Anything I should change?

That appears to be worse than even Intel integrated graphics. http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GeForce-GT-710-vs-Intel-UHD-Graphics-630-Desktop-Coffee-Lake-i5-i7/m77649vsm356797

Then how am I gonna get graphics with a Ryzen chip??

Sorry for not providing that info earlier tho...

Not comfortable getting the key from Reddit, want the ultra-wide specifically for productivity purposes, and chose the case coz it comes with two optical drive bays (one can be converted to 4 SSD bays), has 2 white LED fans, and I specifically don't want a GPU now.

Budget: $970 Aim: 3D modelling (PTC Creo), Video editing (Da Vinci Resolve), Java coding, general productivity (OpenOffice), movies, stuff. Peripherals: Not needed Monitor: Included in list OS: Included in list CPU: Intel - Core i5-8500 3GHz 6-Core Processor ($189.89 @ SuperBiiz) CPU Cooler: CRYORIG - M9i 48.4 CFM CPU Cooler ($19.99 @ Amazon) Motherboard: ASRock - B360M Pro4 Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($78.98 @ Newegg) Memory: Team - T-Force Vulcan 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory ($173.98 @ Newegg) Storage: Crucial - MX500 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($69.99 @ Adorama) Storage: Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($43.90 @ OutletPC) Case: Fractal Design - Focus G Mini (Black) MicroATX Mini Tower Case ($54.99 @ SuperBiiz) Power Supply: EVGA - BQ 500W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($39.99 @ B&H) Optical Drive: Asus - DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer ($18.49 @ OutletPC) Operating System: Microsoft - Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit ($97.99 @ Other World Computing) Case Fan: ARCTIC - Arctic F12 74.0 CFM 120mm Fan ($4.29 @ SuperBiiz) *2 Case Fan: BitFenix - Spectre LED 47.7 CFM 140mm Fan ($6.99 @ Amazon) *2 Other: ICY DOCK MB344SP FLEX-FIT Quattro 4 x 2.5” HDD / SSD Bracket for ($9.99 @ Amazon) Other: LG Electronics UM57 25UM57 25-Inch Screen LED-lit Monitor ($149.00 @ Amazon) Total: $969.74 Special notes: It's gotta be cool, it can be loud, but cool is more important. Gonna get a GPU later, when prices fall/ when a newer model releases- currently looking at a GTX 1050/ 1050 Ti Going for Intel because the Ryzen 5 2400G is not powerful enough, and I don't want to buy a GPU now. What do you guys think? Not comfortable getting the key from Reddit, want the ultra-wide specifically for productivity purposes, and chose the case coz it comes with two optical drive bays (one can be converted to 4 SSD bays), has 2 white LED fans, and I specifically don't want a GPU now.

Thanks!

I intend to build a PC (my first!) for productivity purposes, and thus either an ultra-wide or dual monitor setup is absolutely essential. Is the Vega 11 onboard graphics able to handle a 25.0" 2560x1080 60 Hertz monitor, and at what quality? Additionally, I have read on forums that the Vega 11 does not support dual monitors. Could you please confirm this? (Asus - PRIME B350M-A Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard) Lastly, does anyone have better suggestions that the above setup. Thanks in advance!!
