Your thoughts on a proposed build

Hi folks.

 

It's been a while since I've build a system from scratch. I'm looking at putting together a system for my business partner and wanted your thoughts...

 

It's not a gaming rig, it will be an office PC. It needs to be quick, reliable, workhorse capable of multi tasking.

 

What do you think of this as a proposed setup? Any help or advice would be appreciated.

if he does not want to OC and SLI /CF id say get a solid B350 board and shave off some Money there ,

if you want it more quiet get the XFX passive RX460

 

other than that its fine , maybe an R5 1600? dunno what he does exactly but 8c/16t is pretty beastly for Office work

X370 can be replaced by b350, the OC capabilities are similar/identical.

 

 

Ultra is stupid. ALWAYS.

Ditch that case/psu combo and get a proper ATX case and a better PSU like a Corsair CXM or a Seasonic M12II.

Also the motherboard wouldn't even fit in that case anyway...
