Regarding PC Build

[VarunK]

I want to build a PC only for work like MS Office,Excel,Powerpoint etc no gaming. AMD Ryzen 3 1300x will work ? Pls suggest me a Overclockable Motherboard for my CPU.

** NO Budget for Graphics Card **

 

Currently using Intel Pentinum e5700

 

Budget around $270.

Why would u wanna overclock ur PC to do word processing and powerpoint?

For Office, Excel and Powerpoint ANY motherboard or processor will be good. Even old Core2Duo on LGA775. So if it's only for that - just buy cheapest components on the market. No OC needed. And any cheap SSD.

The ryzen 3 1300x has no onboard video.

so you have to get a gpu, something like a gt310 should be fine for display but a second hand gtx 750 (ti).
as for a motherboard, a good b350 with a nice vrm and heat sink should be fine, i would recommend the asrock b350 pro4m

There's plenty of good reason to buy modern components as opposed to old ones, since maybe this PC ought to last a while.

replace the Athlon x4 with this Athlon 200GE:

An A320 motherboard would save some money over a B450 board, but you did request overclocking potential. Of course, none of the budget AMD CPUs can overclock, at least outside of Ryzen.

You all wants to put better and better components. I understand that every computer may be as good as possible and I know that on this forum even i7-8700K + 1070 is not enough for MS Paint. But COME ON! This one time guy needs something for using MS Office! This is exactly why AMD makes their cheapest processors and Intel makes Celerons! This is exactly great example that cheapest motherboards are made for someone! Please - made configurations as cheap as possible, so in the future, if this guy will want computer for games, he can buy second computer and no regret that he spend much money on this one. Cheapest motherboard, chepaest CPU (even Celeron), cheapest SSD, no HDD, 4 GB memory in one stick (more than enough for Office). And that's it!

Yeah That's basically what I did. (except motherboard, which could be $10 cheaper)

You're right.

Intel option.

That rosewill case would be a nightmare to build in. Cheap construction, and the bulky look of the sides is hideous. Not really worth the savings IMO, especially not for long term use.

If no budget for a video card, go for a Ryzen 2200g or 2400g processor. Or you could...…….Since you have an LGA775 motherboard and no gaming uses for your current rig, maybe you can save some $$$ by getting a used but high end Core 2 Quad  or Core 2 Duo and a new SSD to speed things up.
