Looking to get a small PC,

Use for only: Office/Browsing/Research etc.

size: looking for small as possible but upgradable. (so can replace parts if required)

Budget up to: £500

Requirements: HDMI/DP output

this is the spec i got to. ITX was much more expensive for very little benefit.

its literally for the misses to do her Teacher work & marking remotely. So Even the Quad-core will be at like 5% usage lol.

(also kolink is used by OC in their own builds so they must trust them enough for that)

I wouldn't touch a Kolink psu with a bargepole even for a budget pc. Someone on here took the cover off a KL 400w and the components inside were the cheapest of the cheap. The psu you have picked is even lower in the lineup than the KL series so god knows what junk is inside that. If you click on the second picture on it's product page and enlarge it you will see that that so called 400w psu only has 276w on the 12v rail and they recommend 24/7 power not to exceed 300w. That says everything you need to know about it's quality.

I would have thought a Ryzen 2200G/2400G would be better for your usage than Intel.

What about a cheap Windows 10 key online and then go for your AMD build in post #3? Quite a few on here have gone for these cheap keys and have had no problems with them. You could even drop the BeQuiet psu for a Silverstone Strider SST-ST30SF which is a SFX psu (comes with a adaptor to fit normal cases) and saves £7 off that build. It's a decent psu and still has a lot more power than that pc will ever need. Review here.

80% less footprint then the above . not as powerful but will do the job just fine.
upgrade though is a closed route, cant swap CPU - can add extra ram or storage​
