Hi I work at home and have the following needs

- power saving but not until it affects performance too much
- I'm an audiophile and have my external dac. So I don't need my mobo to have good or even any sound card
- I open upwards 30+ tabs, words, ppt, pdf, photoshop, etc at a time
- I have a 34 inch wide screen
- I don't game usually but play l4d2 from time to time.

I'm looking at some moneyface build but was wondering if they are too power hungry

Ryzen APU is all you need... :D

This setup only tops at ~65W real life gaming load, 100W max torture load..

And also no point squeezing out anymore power to go lower as performance tradeoffs will be drastic.

APU+MB+WIFI+BT: AMD Ryzen 3 3200G + Gigabyte B450 I AORUS PRO WIFI @ $326 (PC Themes)
Still cheapest mITX B450 board btw.
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2933 CL16 16GB Dual Channel Kit [Black] (Ryzen-Compatible) @ $117 (Fuwell)
SSD: Intel SSD 660p 1TB [NVMe M.2 2280] @ $132 (Amazon Prime Now - International)
CASE+PSU: In Win Chopin [Silver] + Internal 150W FlexATX [80 Plus Bronze] @ $139
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64-bit Product Key @ $3 (Taobao)

GRAND TOTAL: $702*°

*after Lazada DBS/POSB $10 off min $80 spending Bank coupon [TBA every Thursday]
°after Lazada SAFRAPERKS 8% discount max $5 Cart promo code [Ends 31/08/19]
