First Build Helping a friend

MyUserID-IsTaken · August 10, 2021

Budget (including currency): €1200

Country: Ireland

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft, Phasmaphobia.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): First post, have probably missed something but I'm trying to help a friend build a PC. So far I've put this together https://ie.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZnwCHz

We were going to go without a GPU and use the new 5700g instead. Peripherals don't really matter and looking to pretty much max out at 60fps. Fans are yet to be decided, if the parts are okay we'll check those out.

A motherboard with BIOS flashback is an absolute must for the new 5000 series APUs, the BIOS versions required to run these processors is very new and the odds of getting a compatible out-of-box revision is very unlikely.

You can get a slightly cheaper NVMe drive, and save on the motherboard. It allows you to spend a bit more on a nice power supply.

I made an alternative case recommendation but that's a more subjective part of the list, based on preference. You can save a bit of money or go for more style
