first build First Build that I'll get - Help

[sanferord]

Budget (including currency): 750 USD/600 EUR

Country: Hungary

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: GIS software, R, other statistical software. Games: Star Wars (Fallen Order, BF2, Squadrons), NBA2K21, F1 2021, Dying light, League of Legends, Valorant, STALKER, Metro 2033, Warzone maybe. Web browsing and Office ofc.

 

Other details: I got a PCPartPicker list (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2fDrj2) I'd need a decent monitor (1080p is fine I guess), and a keyboard, I didn't list it because I'd buy used or from different places. I'm upgrading from an i3-6006U laptop, with Radeon graphics and 8GB RAM. I plan to buy it close to Black Friday (november right?), and about the refresh rate, well I've never played in more than 60Hz so I don't know, but as I said, with 1080p I think I'll be fine. 

 

PS: The Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G, I can buy it here in Hungary, for an alternative build I'd change the processor and GPU of the list for the PRO 4650G.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/J34tfP  it's $50 over budget, but you can remove the hard drive... however you will only have 500gb if you do so. I'm not sure the pricing situation in Hungary, so sorry if it's a lot over

~Swapped B450 for the B560 platform (saves you $20, gains ~15% performance with 11400)

~Swapped RAM for Crucial Ballistix (cheaper, faster memory, same CAS latency)

~Swapped case for a Mesh Micro-ATX with 2 pre-installed fans (nearly same price, better airflow)

+Added 2x additional 120mm fans (improves airflow)

+Replaced 500W PSU for a 650W (better upgradeability, only $20 more)

+Replaced HDD with 2TB Seagate drive (nearly same price, double the capacity)

+Replaced SATA SSD with a 500GB NVME (nearly same price, far better performance)

 

Wait to buy a GPU if you can, just use the integrated graphics

Thanks so much, every suggestion is welcome. I'm used to USD, but coming here to Hungary, actually the HUF is very volatile and things go pricy due to the stupid taxes (27% VAT). However, I thank you, I'll tweak it and see what happens. Cheers man!

Thanks man, both of you helped me with the 2 best options I'll consider. Although I'm a bit more AMD guy. Thanks! I'll go all the way through this to see what I get.
