Considering the low-end CPU, I feel like you're spending WAY too much on your CPU cooler.

 

It's usually recommended to get 2 sticks of memory, because dual channel or something. So you might want to look into that. And considering it's an office PC, 3200 mhz memory should already be PLENTY.

 

With a 2 tb m.2 SSD, you can load loads of p**n on your office PC. However, I doubt that your office PC needs all of that speed, especially at that price. An regular SATA SSD would probably be MUCH more affordable then this thing. You could even consider just an 500 gb SSD of some kind, and add in a 4 tb HDD, and still save some moneys.

Just build something like this, a small 128 gb m.2 for windows then a 2tb hdd for mass storage. Also a 5700g, save money by going with a cpu that has an Igpu since you don't need a proper gpu since it's just an office system. Also inbuilt wifi 6 on the motherboard and 2 8gb sticks of RAM running at 3200MHz and CL16.

My First PC
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
Cooler: Asus TUF Gaming LC240
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B550-f gaming
RAM: 4x8 GB Corsair Vengeance RS (3200 MHz, CL16)
Storage: 1tb Samsung 980 Pro
Graphics Card: Asus Dual RTX 2060 OC
Case: Deepcool Matrexx 50
Power Supply: Corsair RM650x
Headset: Razer Blackshark V2
Keyboard: Corsair K70 Pro Mini (Speed Silver switches)
Mouse: Razer Viper Mini
Only changes I have made is I sold the 2060 for $235 AUD and bought a Powercolor Red Devil 6700 XT for $400 second hand (it was barely used, think I scored a deal on Ebay with that).

I love Photography (Using a Canon 60D)

Love F1, my favourite team is Ferrari and my favourite driver is Leclerc

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

So just pure word processing and multimonitor use? Have ya try to shop around Gumtree for Coffee Lake era HP Envy/Dell Optiplex/Dell Inspiron?
