DAW first time build

[BorisSvetiev]

Budget (including currency): around 37.000,00 ден 600 € (without peripherals)

Country: North Macedonia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: DAW running Cubase, Sibelius; other various office programs; Skype and kid YouTube videos
(this is a one for all PC build and it would not be uncommon if any or all of the above mentioned programs would be running simultaneously, but primarily it’s a DAW). As for gaming I might play QuakeLive two or three times a year at most (so that is not a factor).

Monitor: I am planning on buying later something in the line of 34" LG 34WL500-B LED IPS 2560x1080 UltraWide but now it is not included in the price. I could use a suggestion for a good value for money monitor that is ultra wide at around 300 €.

Other details:

I already have a hard drive and SSD that I will scavenge of my other laptops as well as peripherals. This would be my first build. I am currently running my lap top HP ProBook 450 G3 with an Intel i5-6200U and 12GB of RAM and it is starting to choke so I want a significant upgrade. It is important to me that the build is as quiet as possible and I have no desire for RGB. My plan is to run in the beginning with the Ryzen APU. After a year I would probably invest in a decent graphic card and finally after another year or two, I would switch my Ryzen 3 3200G for a midrange 4^th gen Ryzen CPU (not APU) or whatever is compatible with my mobo and graphics card at the time. I do not want to go over my current budget.

 

My concern is: 1. whether this is a good strategy, 2. would a B550 board be a better choice, 3. should I wait for a similarly priced 4^th gen Ryzen APU and just stick with it and ditch my whole upgrade strategy and maybe buy a graphics card later on, 4. is there anything that I am overlooking since I am a novice (even though I've watched a ton of build videos and fell confident about doing it).

It really doesn't....use it to build, but shop around you will find many parts cheaper elsewhere.

 

Also doesn't cover Russia or Macedonia.

Here is your build, with your parts from Germany, as that was the closest PP offers.

 

I think the case would be better for you, as you do not want the noise.

It does leave about 80 Euro for a wireless card, though I would save the 80 euro and get a TP link for better connectivity (if you can't just Ethernet a cable to your PC).

Thank you for your suggestions, unfortunately the case the memory and PSU are not available in shops my country. There are some Corsair PSUs out there but no memories yet.

 

Ordering them online is financially not viable due to customs and taxes expenses and not to mention the ridiculous shipping charges to my country.
