Hello, budget is £360 and I would like to build a mini itx pc. Gpu wont be needed for now ( so I would prefer something like a ryzen 3 3200g ) and I dont mind amd or intel. Would be nice to have a 500w psu for future upgrades. Thank you : )

Unfortunately, the 3200g and 3400g have increased to 250 pounds. However the 10100 is still in stock. Ram is dual channel because integrated graphics benefits from increased bandwith, however a single stick might provide you more upgradability later. unfortunately, all sfx psus have been inflated, and it’ll be a bit harder to build with a larger power supply, but atleast its compatible and is semi modular so you don’t have cables everywhere. You could also save 20 pounds by going for the 256 gig sn550 if 360 pounds is a hard cap.

I've been looking at getting the i5 10400 and 8gb more ram. Just getting a 250gb ssd instead of the 500gb one ( I dont really play very big games though so that should be fine.
