My usage
Basic multi tab surfing
Light gaming on 1080p 60hz
Media consumption
Rig will be Air cooled
Hopefully not too noisy

I will probably need
1. Small form factor case ( under 80 bucks if not normal case would do)
2. Mobo
3. CPU
4. GPU
5. PSU 500-600w
6. SSD 500gb
7. Rams

Dont need DVDr or OS.
Appreciate some inputs ty

ASROCK B450M PRO4+ RYZEN 3300X @$290 * same like i7.

KLEVV BOLT X 3200MHz CL16 8GB x2 @$105

KLEVV CRAS C710 NVMe 512GB @$95

Forge M mATX TG 4x120mm Mesh @$54 * Good airflow

2nd thread overspending on pc with light use case. if only watching videos and surfing edmw with light gaming on the side i think it is sufficient to just get an apu powered system. this will make building an sff pc a lot easier. and on that note u can get the asrock deskmini a300, just plop in a 3400g or something like that, ram and ssd and u r good to go.

also buying gtx1050 in 2020? a 2nd hand one at that?

ASROCK B450M PRO4+ RYZEN 3300X @$290 * same like i7. Hows the power draw and heat/temp? i m under the impression that AMD draws alot of power and heat up to high temps.

KLEVV BOLT X 3200MHz CL16 8GB x2 @$105 never heard of KLEVV leh. reputable brand?

KLEVV CRAS C710 NVMe 512GB @$95 Sorry long time never update myself. what is nvme?? why like cheaper than normal ssd

Forge M mATX TG 4x120mm Mesh @$54 * Good airflow Yes i did a quick check and it seems this 1 really value for money

CM MasterWatt 550W S.Mod.80+Bronze @$85 * PSU choose Bronze. Seems like a good choice. My old seasonic died after 4-5 years so i wana try a new brand to see which is better

2nd hand GTX1050 $80 * Low lower and quiet Nah i prefer brand new to save myself the hassle.

Total @$709 :)

I have no issues if it fits my purpose.
But i might be upgrading to a 100hz 1080 ultra wide in a year or 2..
Can i swap in a powerful GPU inside this APU powered system?

Pretty solid recommendation though I will opt for a better PSU and drop the GTX 1050. I had the GTX 1050Ti before and had to substantially lower settings even for 1080p gaming.

@OP - KLEVV is SK Hynix subsidiary.

Their memory is good. Not sure about the SSD. You can always go for G.Skill or Corsair RAM etc and WD Black SSD if you feel more comfortable with familiar brands.

NVMe SSD is preferred as it is much faster than SATA SSD. Used to be much more expensive but prices have more or less dropped to parity so no reason to go for SATA SSD anymore.
