sff 800$ SFF PC

[Ntdi]

Budget (including currency): 800 USD

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Internet browsing mostly, want it to last for 10ish years.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Ive made a parts list, no need for peripherals. Just some advice is needed. Thanks! https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MzWxQP

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but just buy a mini PC. There are models out there with the same specs for half the price (or less). Hell, you can get something fully specced out with a Ryzen 7 7840HS for less than that.

and then upgrade one piece of hardware if it's some edge stuff like RAM or PSU or better SSD/second SSD

I want to build a system and have that experience. If you could link a good mini pc option Ill take a look though.

Go to Amazon and search "7840HS mini PC" and "7840u mini PC". There are tons of them and they change price constantly. Just avoid anything by Acemagician, Acemagic or Kamrui like the plague, make sure you know exactly what you're getting in terms of hardware (it can be difficult to tell what comes with RAM, SSD, what size, etc) and you're good.
