Posted September 26, 2021 Hey, I am currently picking parts to build an office PC for my dad. It should handle Microsoft office, chrome etc. There is no need for gaming, video/photo editing. The pc should handle 2 1080p monitors however. This is what I came up with: CPU AMD Ryzen 5 5600G 265,91 € CPU-Cooler Noctua NH-U9S 60,89 € Motherboard MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI 95,56 € SSD Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500gb 119,99 € RAM Corsair DIMM 16 GB DDR4-3600 Kit 74,90 € PSU Be-Quiet PC-power supply Straight Power 11 BN305, 550 W 101,86 € Case SilverStone Fara H1M 51,98 € Monitor iiyama G-MASTER Red Eagle GB2770HSU-B1 68,6 cm (27") 199,00 € *We will use an old all-in-one PC as a second monitor. The system should be very quiet and compact since it will be running in an office all day. Do you think the iGPU in the CPU will be strong enough to handle the 2 monitors? Is there anything that is incompatible? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I would get cheaper ram, 3200mhz or less will work fine, since ur not gaming, there are cheaper SSDs, sata ones will perform well, no need for a NVME one for office edit: You can also get a cheaper cooler, I think the 92mm fan would be louder than a 120mm fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 26, 2021 Yes, it seems to super-fine. If you're only using Office and Chrome like simple programs there's no need of a separate cooler, the stock cooler will work fine. For the motherboard pls check whether there's two display/VGA ports in there, to connect two monitors (5600G can run dual monitors) Go for a 3200Mhz ram and pls use two 8GB sticks. (8*2 GB) For the PSU go for a Corsair one and 450 Watt is enough. (Corsair CV450) I don't know about the case but it seems to be OK (Are you using a DVD drive? I asked because most people put a DVD drive for their office build) I think for the monitor you need to go for a Asus VG278Q 27.0" 1920x1080 144 Hz Monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 26, 2021 Just buy a 3rd or 4th gen optiplex, stick an ssd in it, and you are good to go Ssd is absolute garbage for its price, might aswell get a far superior gen4 ssd like the sabrent rocket 4.0 which is around 2x faster than that pathetic 970 Cooler is overpriced and uneccesary, a single tower like the freezer 34 or se 224 xt will keep your cpu adequately cool If you can find them go for a 3733mhz kit of ddr4, i think there are viper steel series 3733 cl17 rams available for around 80€ That is a ripoff psu, 100€ for a pathetic 550w? Just no, maybe go for a cheap 80+ bronze or gold psu in the 50€ range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoops forgot to mention getting a gen3 ssd ;-; Its an igpu so itll def benifit from faster rams, though the cpu itself will prob benifit more from lower timings instead of max bandwidth, if 3200mhz rams are 20€ cheaper then get 3200mhz rams over 3733, any less than 10€ cheaper than might aswell get the 3733 ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
