Hi! My friend is looking for a new PC. He mostly watches films and browses the internet. Usually he keeps multiple (20-30+) Chrome browser tabs open over an extended period of time, which eats up a lot of memory. Those tabs include auto-update flash pages, sports streaming, spreadsheets, youtube videos etc. What he is looking for is an all-around PC that would serve him for the next 5 years or so. At one point he would like to jump into gaming, so he prefers to have a good base for it. Budget for the PC is around 450€/$ without a GPU (depends).
My first idea looks like this:
CPU: Ryzen 2600 (good price currently)
MOBO: ASROCK B450M-HDV
RAM: 16 GB 3000 mhz Crucial Ballistix Sport LT
SSD: 480 GB ADATA SU 650
PSU: Corsair CX 550 W CP-9020121-EU
CASE: Fractal Design Core 1100
GPU: temporary old gpu for driving the display (FHD)
Does the motherboard matter much if he doesn't plan to overclock? Is the 550 W Psu overkill? I think his choice for the gpu would be some middle class gpu. Should he stretch his budget by 60€ for Ryzen 3600? Does the SSD brand matter much?
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
