600-700€ Build without GPU

[GrayTech]

I'm helping a friend to budget out his first PC build and want some feedback on our current parts lists. Prices are in € since we are from Germany. Hoping to get some deals on black friday though. He wants to use the system for school and light programming. Gaming will also be on his list later but he wants to build now and add a GPU (used or new/not sure) later. The build should feature Bluetooth and Wifi. MATX is our formfactor of choice. Budget is 600-700€. I also considered Intel 12th Gen but the prices of DDR5 and compatible motherboards is way too high atm.

 

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600G with integrated graphics: ~278€

Mobo: ASUS B550M-A WIFI: ~99€

Cooler: Arctic eSports 34: ~30€

RAM: 2x8GB Crucial Ballistix DDR4 3200: ~46€

Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 1TB: ~90€

PSU: beQuiet Pure Power 11 600W: ~55€ (Outlet)

Case: Cooler Master Q300L: 42€

Total: ~640€

I would spend €10 extra for a Crucial P5 or get a cheaper Kingston A2000. 970 Evo isn't amazing for 90.

 

Other than that it looks pretty good

Thanks for your reply. The Adata one is 10€ cheaper, the Crucial one is 20€ more expensive. I totally forgot that B550 supports Gen 4 M.2, though the real world performance difference between Gen 3 and Gen 4 drives isn't that huge.
