Please check my build

It's just for a basic but half decent office PC for an employee. Don't want to spend more than I need to. (Don't need a HDD as everything is stored on the server) and don't need monitor or peripherals. Thanks for checking.

You have not mentioned anything about a motherboard.... Do you have one already?

 

[JediFragger]

Also the Ryzen Vega APU benefits from fast ram, at least 3000Mhz+.

Indeed it does. But for word and excel. My wallet benefits from slower RAM.

what's the main purpose of the pc?

word, excel. the usual office stuff.

save yourself some dosh and get a 2c4t build. ryzen APU is wasted in this scenario.

SFF MATX case, and a SATA M.2 drive for tidy internals.

^^ I'd also have thought a more basic build would be more appropriate just for office tasks like Word and Excel, but I'd cut another £25 off the cost and go with this SSD (£25.99) instead of the M2 drive. If it's only for Office applications, you're not going to need much space if the files themselves are on the server.

haha, i did actually consider whether 120gb would be sufficient. but @beany_bot specced a 240gb drive, so maybe there's other programs taking up space?
also ssds don't like to be run at capacity, so technically best case scenario would be using only 80-90gb of that 120gb ssd

Yeah, I think it will be plenty unless, as you say, there are some other, larger, programs the OP hasn't mentioned.

I have a 120GB OS drive, with Office on it and also a slew of other general use programs (Adobe, File Sync, Evernote, JDownloader, HWinfo, Dropbox, Drive, Afterburner, Chrome, Explorer AND Edge, etc.), plus game platforms (Steam, GoG, Origin, uPlay, Epic)

I also have a 7.5GB work folder on there.

Total use is under 65GB.
