Morning all,

My father-in-law is after a new PC to replace his horrid all-in-one HP thing. He basically goes on the internet and uses MS Office on it. I want it to be reasonably quick, but obviously he doesn't need anything super high end. I also think he'd prefer something small, hence the Mini-ITX for factor.

Could someone just have a butchers for me and check whether the below is reasonable and sufficient? It's been a while since I built a PC, and even then, it was for gaming.

Also, can't find the cart plugin for Firefox!

Kolink KL-SFX450 450W 80 Plus Bronze Efficient SFX Power Supply
Silverstone SST-SG05BB-Lite Sugo USB 3.0 - Black
Asrock B660M-ITX/ac - Intel B660 DDR4 Mini-ITX Motherboard
Intel Core i5-12400F 2.50GHz (Alder Lake) Socket LGA1700 Processor - Retail
Team Group Vulcan Z T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey
WD Black SN750 SE 1TB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive (WDS100T1B0E)


Total: £566.56

Thanks in advance,

If you want a proper tidy small form factor, take a look at barebones mini PCs.

In particular the like of Asus PN50 and PN51. Great little things for the price :)

Thanks for replying. I was actually looking at that sort of things. They just don't make it super obvious what you get with the system

My mother loves her Intel NUC. Take a look at the NUC11ATKPE - a 4 core 4 thread celeron box - or the NUC11TNHi5Z - an i5 with 4 cores and 8 threads. I'm unable to give links because they would lead to OCUK's competitors.
 
I would get a second user dell SFF with something like a optiplex 3070 with i5-9500 £260 ish maybe less it will run win 11 pro if needed or even the mico version with an i3 or i5, they will take an m.2 and have a caddy for a 2.5 inch ssd or hdd for more data space

Thanks for the suggestion. He’s quite wealthy so I personally would rather get him new gear with warrantees
 
Intel have just announced / launched their 12th generation NUCs.

The low end is the NUC12WSHi3 with 2 P cores and 8 E cores. There are also a plethora of kits available.
