AM4 new non-gaming build

[testcy]

What do you think about the following components for a new non-gaming build?

 

AMD RYZEN 5 5600G 3.90GHZ 6-CORE WITH WRAITH STEALTH BOX
GIGABYTE A520 AORUS ELITE AM4
CORSAIR CMK16GX4M2Z3600C18 VENGEANCE LPX BLACK 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4 3600MHZ DUAL CHANNEL KIT

 

Should I expect any problems?

nope, how much is that A520? New B550's (with wifi too) can be had for cheap Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard (B550M DS3H AC) - PCPartPicker

just buy an old 7th/8th gen sff, chuck an ssd in if there isnt one already, and chuck some ram in if <8gb, and done

 

 

if you want an actually valid new build with an actual advantage over those used ssf that cost a fraction of the price then you can buy a deskmini x300 and add the cpu rams cooler and ssd for a smaller than mini itx desktop

 

but now that i think about it youd be better off with something like the beelink ser6 or whatever those tiny mini pcs with mobile ryzens that are even smaller and much more power efficient than building off a barebones x300 and will definitely blow those old sff out of the water in both performance and most importantly power efficiency + much smaller form factor

 

 

just dont waste your time even building a new office pc as they provide no avdantage whatsoever over old used sff prebuilts, better off with those aformentioned old sff prebuilts which will be more than enough for office work

 

and if you want new you might aswell get a mini pc based on a ryzen laptop cpu that will outperform those old sff whilst consuming less power and being significantly smaller in size

Office work mostly. Is there a reason to choose B550 if I don't plan to replace the 5600G?

I can only find 4th or maybe 6th gen for a reasonable price. Spending more for something newer would cost almost the same as the components above.

if your looking for full size an optiplex is your best bet, but brand new this https://www.newegg.com/p/2SW-002G-00087 has a 7000 series ryzen 7 and 32 gb of ddr5 which will perform way better than that 5600g
