Hey guys,

 

I am planning on gifting my parents a new pc for Christmas and I would like to share the specs with you and gather some feedback and suggestions.

 

The main use for the PC is work related stuff (mostly MS Office, heavy internet browsing and online video streaming services - Youtube, Netflix, etc.)

 

My budget is about 200 250 euros - power supply not included.

 

CPU:AMD Ryzen TM 3 2200G mit RadeonTM VegaTM Grafikkarte

Motherboard:ASRock 90-MXB5A0-A0UAYZ Motherboard 1 x Socket AM4 Mehrfarbig

RAM:Crucial CT8G4DFS824A 8GB Speicher (DDR4, 2400 MT/s, PC4-19200, SR x8, DIMM, 288-Pin)

SSD:Kingston SA400S37/120G Solid-State-Drive (2.5 Zoll, SATA 3) schwarz - No need for more space - NAS storage available on LAN 

Case: Sharkoon VS4-V PC-Gehäuse (2x USB 3.0, ATX) schwarz

Modular power supply from BeQuiet 450W bronze - exact model not available from my current location ?

 

Q1. Am I missing something?

Q2. Will it be able to handle video decoding on the CPU? Not the expert on AMD cpus... Actually the first one I buy.

Q3. Any suggestions? Alternatives?

 

Thank you for your time, and sorry for the bad text formatting... I am on my phone and find it difficult to change the text size...

I did not take into consideration I needed 1xHDMI ... and that I might have to update the bios on the MB.... and it is complicated not having an older gen AMD CPU... I opted for buying a bundle from amazon.
