Work PC

[Matthew B911]

So I need to build a work pc that is basic. My work is mainly reading and typing emails, no rendering or anything PC intensive. I still want my pc to be beautiful, small and look professional. Should I use intergraded graphics or a graphics card?  Also what parts do you guys think will be perfect for this PC, especially what case? Any other tips and suggestions?

Based on that workflow, save yourself some time and money and just go for an iGPU. You'll have to go Intel in this case, but if you're doing nothing intensive and want to be able to get hold of the parts, then that should be fine.

Budget? Region?

11th gen i5 would solve your GPU issues and also supports gen 4

Here's a list I'd recommend off the top of my head:

• Motherboard: ASRock H570M-ITX/ac ($140): It may not be a dazzler to you, but there are very few options at lower price points.

• CPU: Intel Core i5-10400F ($150 ish): All the performance you'll need & a decent iGPU at a great price.

• RAM: 2x8GB G.Skill Ripjaws V 3200 C16 ($90): Though it sounds like overkill for an email machine, CPUs with iGPUs benefit quite a bit from better memory.

• Storage: 500GB Western Digital WD_Black SN750 ($70): NVMe Gen 3 is probably overkill for this rig, but the value simply can't be beat.

• Case: Cooler Master MasterBox NR200P ($130): A fairly simplistic yet aesthetically pleasing case that will seat the rest of your components nicely.

• PSU: Corsair SF450 Gold ($115): It's ironic that smaller = more expensive with PC parts, but this unit will work perfectly in this build.

 

I don't have much experience with ITX builds, so a cooler for that 10400F is something someone else can hopefully come through on if you choose this path.

Integrated graphics is fine unless you plan on having multiple 4k monitors.
