don't really need an i5 just for web browsing, an athlon 200GE will do the job. hell, you could even just swap out the i3 for a xeon X3440/i7 8xx and maybe an ssd and you should be good to go.

You'd be better off getting a 2200g or 2400g, which have on-board graphics, and pair either with a b450 tomahawk imo

You could omit the 2TB HDD if you think 700GB is enough for all your movies and programs.

i was considering the i5 because i don't like upgrading every 2-3 years, i got the i3-540 8-9 years ago. I'm done with used parts, i've bought some that proved to be dead.

I think i'll go with the cheaper i3-8100.

Do you think the following build will still be relevant in 5 years?

 

Reusable parts from my curent PC:

CPU Cooler: Deepcool - GAMMAXX 300 55.5 CFM CPU Cooler 

Storage: Samsung - 860 Evo 250 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive 
Storage: Western Digital - Caviar Blue 500 GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive 
Case: Deepcool - WAVE V2 MicroATX Mini Tower Case 
Monitor: Philips 23.6 LED 1920x1080

Win10 Home

 

Considering buying:

CPU: Intel - Core i3-8100 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor (122€)

Motherboard: Gigabyte - B360M D3H Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (80€)

Video Card: Planing on using onboard video

Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory (53€)

Power Supply: Super Flower - Leadex Silver 550 W 80+ Silver Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply (66€)
