new build / 1st build recommendation for developer

[bbenjii123]

Budget (including currency): 300-600$

 

Country: USA

 

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

Web browsing
work : visual studio code IDE, nodejs, python
gaming: nvidia geforce now, microsoft xbox cloud
ratio: 95% for work/web browsing, 5% for gaming from the cloud

 

Other details : I already have a 32inch monitor, I would like to fit everything into a case with the smallest fingerprint without scarifying "too much" the thermo. I like the style of the fractal terra but I still find it too big.

 

I am hesitating to go with one of the prebuilt beelink / minisforum

 

I've put a baseline, but I think it's way overkill for my usage: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PfbMJM

 

Thanks !

How about this list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Ygjd4s

A ryzen 5 7600 should be enough for your workload and it is a new platform so you’ll get longer support. It also now has a 2tb ssd that’s quite fast. I saw that you had a flex power supply which is weird because unless you have a server case, you can’t use a flex standard so I’d suggest going with an ATX power supply. The case is up to you so I left it out.

That case retails for over $185US. Spending that much of your budget doesn't make sense.

If that is the size you want, a DIY build will not do better.

A 13600k would be better for your use case since it has more cores, cheaper cooler you don't need a $85 cooler. Also a cheaper motherboard.
