Custom PC

[Dragotaur_]

I have this list of computer parts that I want to use to make a PC, but want to know if this list looks good from a dell business PC, I could also use intergrated graphics from the CPU until the GTX 1050 TI of something else gets into budget

I would go for a 12th gen, 11th gen is a dead end and if you can spare the little bit of extra cost, it'll be well worth it.

I think 12th gen is a lot more expensive, but is 11th gen just absolute trash?

11th gen is almost the same as 10th gen, but I don't recommend either over 5000 series Ryzen CPUs.

Well this list is updated because I can't afford a 5000 series so I just downgraded to 10th gen

the way the market is right now is a bit tricky. Good motherboards for Intel are a bit more expensive than good motherboards for AMD, but current gen AMD CPUs are more expensive than last gen Intel CPUs, and prices on last gen AMD CPUs haven't really stayed low (they went down at first but went back up)

I would suggest something like this:
 

PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nZtZLs

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G 3.9 GHz 6-Core Processor  ($250.71 @ Amazon) 
Motherboard: Asus Prime B450M-A II Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard  ($79.98 @ Amazon) 
Memory: OLOy WarHawk RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory  ($67.99 @ Newegg) 
Storage: Toshiba Q Series 128 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  (Purchased For $0.01) 
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB GAMING X Video Card  ($289.99 @ Newegg) 
Case: Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L MicroATX Mini Tower Case  (Purchased For $0.01) 
Power Supply: EVGA BQ 650 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply  (Purchased For $0.01) 
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro OEM 64-bit  (Purchased For $0.01) 
Total: $688.71
 

You can go for a less expensive DDR4 kit and add the water cooler later on after a CPU upgrade
 

Now, pcpartpicker says that the Prime B450M-A II is not compatible with the 5600G but that's not true, Asus has the correct BIOS version listed on their website along with all the other CPUs that the board supports.

https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/PRIME/PRIME-B450M-A-II/HelpDesk_CPU/
And the best part is that this motherboard has BIOS flashback, so you can ensure that the compatible BIOS can be flashed easily even without the CPU installed.
