High performance low power desktop

[testerjp]

This PC is ultra low watt at 35 watt, it is more suited at work and normal use not gaming.
Gaming with a ultra low TDP APU is not ideal, it does not perform
on par with desktop counterpart.

You have two options:
- Consider a Lenovo Legion gaming laptop
- Consider a Lenovo Legion T5i gaming desktop

Take note of the parts you choose but if PSU is rated at 650 watt.
It doesn't mean it consume 650 watts.

Example if you choose Lenovo Legion T5i specs:
- Intel Core i5-10400 - 65 watt TDP
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER 100 W

PSU used by Lenovo Legion T5i depends on which graphic card it use.
Base configuration and SKU not using RTX2060 should be using 400 watt 80 plug gold.

Actual draw of power is not 400 watt so dependent on load.
TS you have to consider carefully, low power PC for gaming and graphic design the PC will crawl even if you have SSD.

A gaming laptop/desktop like Lenovo Legion should fit you.

Any reason why you select Intel Core i5-10400 instead of something like AMD 5600x or 3600 which are also 65W TDP?

FYI prebuild like Lenovo, the AMD option there is only one model and limited options like graphic card etc. configuration.

Actually this is not a bad idea.

Which Ryzen CPU with integrated graphic will I buy?
I'm normally playing Dota and my ancient GTX 745 is still okay so i guess this set up works for me.

If I transfer my existing SSD and HDD to it, my SSD is not NVME.
Buy a CPU, and 64GB ram, is that all I need to do to get it up and running?
My windows in my SSD will still work?

I'm more worried about the bios thing because I've not handled that before.
All those raid or whatever I'm not sure what it means.

i have 2400G with vega 11 and 4600H with vega 8. theoretically vega 11 is better. In practice i limit the game graphics settings and cap the framerate so no difference. up to you want better cpu or graphics.

put in your ssd it will boot your old desktop no need reinstall windows.
