Budget (including currency): 750 EUR

Country: Latvia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: General Work with Excel type / in-browser programs, some "cozy" games (e.g. Stardew Valley, Sims), potentially playing some more demanding games down the line.

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): Going to be used with one (maybe eventually 2) 1440p monitors.

 

Hello!

I was planning a PC, which will be used for remote work and playing some lighter games. The build below, with prices (IN EUR, Tax Included):

 

PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Bw2ZFZ

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 3.5 GHz 6-Core Processor  ($99.00)
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M K Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard  ($92.00)
Memory: Kingston FURY Beast 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory  ($37.00)
Storage: Crucial P3 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive  ($62.00)
Video Card: ASRock Challenger D Radeon RX 6600 8 GB Video Card  ($230.00)
Case: Deepcool MATREXX 40 3FS MicroATX Mini Tower Case  ($45.00)
Power Supply: be quiet! System Power 10 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  ($58.00)
Total: $623.00

 

Some things that I don't know how to check:

1) I don't know much about choosing cases. Is there anything wrong with this choice in terms of noise and/or clearance?

2) Is the power supply going to be quiet during regular work (e.g. browsing the web + excel open)?

3) Would getting a CPU cooler to replace the stock cooler reduce noise?

4) The main concern is that it should be as quiet as possible. Are there any parts that I could change (there's still room in the budget) to get a more quiet build?

 

And in general, does anything seem off to you in the build?

 

Thanks in Advance!
