Dad's new PC - final showoff!

[steffeeh]

Been planning this build for quite some time, and in an hour or two I'll order all the parts. This will be my dad's new PC, aimed at regular home usage, office tasks, Netflix and YouTube streaming (to the TV as well), etc - doing these things quietly.

To keep things as quiet as we desire, we'll go with a semi-passive CPU cooler, as well as a semi-passive PSU. Along these I have some Be-Quiet fans lying around here at home to shove into this build.

For now we'll stick to 1080p using the internal graphics, but when the day come where he buys a 4k TV, we'll add in a multimedia GPU to match more modern IO as well as matching the required minimum 3GB VRAM for 4k Netflix (long story short).

 

Here's the build list

 

Some notes:

 - A single 250GB SSD is more than enough storage. He only uses around 110GB, and it's not increasing. In worst case scenario, I have an HDD lying around.

 - The very fine PSU is because it happened to be on sale and all cheaper ones weren't on sale.

 - The mobo only has 2 fan headers, so I'll grab 2 Y-cables

 - We'll go with a dual memory config to get dual channel for the internal graphics.

 - Some people have said we should go with the stock cooler, but we don't want that one, so no need to mention that once again

 

Let me know your thoughts. Will the CPU cooler, RAM, and a potential GPU work without interference? That's my main concern right now. Note that we're in Sweden, so pricing and availability is different.

Looks like a good build to me. Your power supply is good enough for even a 1080, that's not a problem at all.

Hello Steffeh!

I hope your father haven't planned any 1080p gaming with this rig.

I doubt that he will have an enjoyable experience with this current setup.

 

If you could get a dedicated GPU for 1500-2000 Swedish kronor, you would see a much better performance gain. Something like a GTX 960 supports 4K in theory, and goes for around 1800-1900 Swedish kronor.

No gaming on this build, just casual usage and watching content.

Turns out I forgot to save some changes so the list was wrong, I've fixed it now

Any further thoughts?
