Can anyone recommend a cheap but powerful non-gaming build part list?

Preferably with AMD Ryzen.

If it’s non gaming, then what is your planned workload? Surfing the web? If you are doing something like video editing then that will affect what you need.

Probably a ryzen 1600 and a rx 560, but as you havent given us a use case, or a use case, we cant really recommend anything.

If it’s just for web surfing a ryzen 1600 is a bit much, and he could probably get the 2200g and just use integrated if it’s that small of a work load. We need the workload before we can definitively recommend anything.

If it's browsing the web even that's overkill :P He should look down towards an Athlon chip at that point. Or whatever the call the lower end APU's.

He said he preferred ryzen, and it makes the most sense to have a lower end for lower workload, but still have enough power to explore a bit. Plus the integrated graphics cuts a huge portion of the price off because graphics cards are still expensive
