Hi,
I'm wanting to put together a simple secondary system for old titles and some general use, a kind of back up system if you will. This doesn't have to be powerful at all but if a better component makes sense in terms of VFM then all well and good. It will be a Windows 7 build (for older game compatibility with mods) so, AFAIK, that excludes the Ryzen 3000 series (apart from the 3200g & 3400g)? I'm thinking maybe a micro or mini-ATX is the way to go?
No strict budget as such, just the main unit is what I require, so CPU / mobo / GPU / ram / PSU / SSD, and case.
What do you think of this build? Only a quick first attempt but it's a starting point.
