Does it need wifi?

 

What formfactor? Mini-tower, HTPC, or miditower?

Dont need WiFi. I think Mini-tower might do the job but a Mid-tower will work too.

Not a good PSU. Swap for a TXM.

Get something with VRM heatsinks to keep it running forever. 

 

Edit: and the CPU needs a cooler. The included one isnt good enough

Does not make any sense this build as a basic office pc .. horrendous PSU and a fairly basic mobo ..

 

@GoldenLag is much more aimed towards what OP asked and think is a good build for what’s is asked.

@GoldenLag

vrm heatsink not important as you running non K proc + middle load pc. that pc just for daily office, not for gaming/content creator. with good airflow on case, all be fine.

maybe, i7 can very useful in some case next time.

corsair builder have a good review as far i know, nothing wrong with that as it's a new and have guarantee.

Its also a bad PSU. I would need to doublecheck but lt probably has lacking protections meaning it should be avoided.

The mobo has cheap VRM. While sure it will run fine. One should keep in mind that it should have longevity in mind aswell. Something VRM heatinks provide as the VRM doesnt run at 105*C.

You do actually need an aftermarket aircooler on the 8700. In an open air testbench the CPU thermal throttles due to the lackluster cooler. 

 

Edit: not to mention the intel stock cooler is very loud.

Not in office workloads. And not worth the 150£ premium. Aswell as going over budget.
