Budget (including currency): 600 €

Country: Germany

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: It is only a PC for managing my webstore and using the browser. He will go into the store to also acces our checkout system.

Hello everyone, 

 

i need a PC for my new store. I created one at pc part picker but i don´t know if i can swap something to get a better system for that or maybe some parts are overkill for just office work. My intention with the 1 TB M.2 is that i don´t need an additional storage disk. I also have an old RX460 that i am using for this PC. 

I´ll hope somebody can give me a little advise.

Bear in mind if the stick goes bad, there is no hope of data recovery. So if the data is important, you'll want some sort of backup solution

We are planning to work with a Google Drive. So this would be our backup solution

Here is my list, the 10400 has integrated graphics so no need to give up the rx 460

This seems pretty good. But I'd make a few cost saving changes here. If the CPU comes with a cooler in the box, I'd stick with the Intel stock cooler. Core i3 is more than enough for the purposes it's going to serve. And I'd go with an SN550 from WD, those are generally a fair bit cheaper and also work very well. Especially for a use-case like this.

I was also thinking about an i 5 because of the integrated graphics card but i thought this was a bit overkill.

You could just go for the 10100, instead of the 10100F

I would say that 6 cores is not overkill in 2021, especially if the system will be used for 3 years or more

Ah thanks i didn´t thought about the standard cooler from Intel

Thanks for the help guys. I think i will go with the i5 10400 and don´t get an extra CPU cooler. I am also trying to use the onboard graphics and see how that works out for me.

You might consider a current generation cpu. A little more expensive but a slightly better onchip gpu.

 

Acrylic windows scratch easily. Consider a case without a window, with two fans and designed for quiet operation. 

 

I also recommend a much better psu.
