if u are looking at the nr200, i would suggest u go for the tecware fusion instead, it is basically the same size, cheaper and supports matx mb + atx psu, which also tend to be cheaper.

ur use case is not demanding at all, so u can get away with this (prices from dynacore):

ryzen 5 5600g + asus tuf gaming a520m plus wifi	319
kingston fury beast black 2x 8gb 3600c17	85
samsung 970 evo plus 500gb	98
fsp hv pro 550w	58
tecware fusion	~85 (from shopee/lazada)

total: 645. i suggested ryzen as the combo is cheaper than one with the i3 12100 non f. the 5600g offers more cores and more graphical performance, so u can even do a bit of light gaming. the a520 also allows setting xmp while the h610 in comparable combos does not, so overall it is a no brainer.

Nice! Didn't know can get for less than than $700. Many websites minimum is $9xx

Or alternative get a Lenovo prebuild with warranty.

There are some videos on YT with the same exact CPU and Mobo combo.
This mobo is fabulous, got everything I need. M.2 , wifi even 4 slots of ram. And mATX to top if off.

Probably the slight dealbreaker is A520M chipset, but I guess perfomance match the price.

I normally steer clear of Asus due to price...but this mobo price is attractive.
I got the Dynacore price list listed Sept 2022 and this bundle cost 364.
So it appears got price drop.
