Office Budget Build

Hello all, 

I just got done building a new gaming rig and it came out great, and for the most part was relatively easy to pick out parts for thanks to all of you. Now I have a new mission to build the best budget office pc I can that's stable. It will be used mainly for just browsing really, nothing crazy. I'm assuming this would be around the 400-500 dollar range? 

I've looked at the 300-500 dollar builds on this forum and wondering should I make any updates? This budget does not include any peripherals as I have all of those. I also found this build from Paul's hardware, thoughts on this build? Thanks for all the help!

Edit: This will not be for gaming so maybe one of the 400 dollar builds would be better suited from this site.

no need for sucn an expensive board for an office build, just grab a Pro4 instead. grab a HP EX900 for $57 instead of the SU800.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W

Overkill PSU, overkill motherboard, overkill ram, this is all for just web browsing and word processing? Try this instead:

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

The PSU and RAM are both overkill, not to mention the motherboard which is both overpriced and overkill.

Or this...more ram because I’ve found even in just office tasks it can be helpful. Plus this is really cheap too. There’s no real reason to go with a flashy tempered glass side panel case like the H500 with an office pc that'll probably sit under a desk.

Also, I changed the cpu cooler because the stock with the Athlon 200GE is really bad, but if you’d like you can remove that.

It is yes, nothing crazy. Just looking for it to be stable and relatively fast. Thank you!

Definitely don't need the h500, looking for just a decent budget office case honestly. Thanks!

For your use case, the only thing really making it fast is the SSD.

Perhaps I should have posted the 400 dollar build recommended, is it worth upgrading to the Ryzen 3 2200G vs the Athlon 200GE? Thanks.

It doesn’t really matter in an office pc, but if you have the $30 go ahead.

Yes it is by every possible mean, you can even fit the R5 2400G which I'd go for personally, SMT and graphics good enough to any 4k playback will give this office PC a really long longevity without breaking the budget.

400 dollar

I think it's worth the upgrade to the 2200G (or 2400G.)

Any big difference in the ASRock - B450M PRO4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard vs the ASRock - B450M-HDV R4.0 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard? Both on-board graphics should be fine for office use correct?

The B450M HDV R4 only has two memory slots. The B450M Pro4 has four and can thus accommodate a non-replacement memory upgrade. The B450M Pro4 also has a second x16 PCIe slot and a USB-C connector.

 

The cpu provides the gpu, not the motherboard. AM4 motherboards only provide monitor connections. Both motherboards have DVI-D, HDMI, and D-Sub connectors.

Yes, both will provide identical experience with a CPU as high as the 2400G, one could argue about the lack of 2 memory DIMMs but in reality 8GB is enough for any office related tasks.

 

A better board is only needed for a higher R5 2600 like CPU with overclocking in mind which will only add performance in gaming and other more specific applications, for office usage with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook), Adobe PDF and web browsing along other stuff there will be no noticeable difference what so ever in performance, specially with a fast responsive SSD with DRAM like the MX500.

 

The key here for the 2400G over the 2200G is not the application performance itself but how much stuff you get to stack up with no slow downs.

Any difference is quality between the 2015 and the 2017 Corsair PSU's? Thanks.

The 2017 CX is a slightly better PSU over all in the regards of "quality/security" however the 2015 CXM is not that behind and it's still by all means a decent pick, the upside on it is the semi-modularity for better cable management if you care about it.

Just adding on to what brob said, ASRock has 2 Pro4 offerings.

 

B450-Pro4, which is a full ATX board

B450M-Pro4, which is a microATX board

 

usually people go for the B450M as most people don't need the extra PCIe x1 slots that the full ATX board offers. Other than that, basically identical motherboards.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I'm assuming that both the 2200g and the 2400g would be fine at 1080p browsing and such?

Oh yeah, they could both handle that just fine. In fact, I think they both can technically output at 4K.
