Hi guys,I need an advice for building a pc.I am building it for a neighbor,he doesn't play games,he will use it for surfing,mailing,watching movies...(no heavy loads)but he wants fast pc.I dont know which CPU to choose.I am considering: Ryzen 7 2700X; Ryzen 5 3600; i5 9600KF or Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G(with 4650G I wouldn't be buying any GPU,MB would be B550M).Is this overkill?Maybe I should cheeck older versions of Ryzen 7 like 1000 series?Any advice on intel's pentiums,celerons? The rest of the system would be:
RAM:Kingston 2x4GB 3200Mhz
HDD:WD Blue 1TB,
SSD:ADATA XPG SX6000PRO
GPU:Gigabyte nVidia GeForce GT 710 2GB 64bit GV-N710D5-2GL
PSU: not sure yet,but no more then 500W

I am open to any sugestions

If you don't want to spend too muchh money on this system then I think you should put together an Athlon 3000G build, with 2x4 gb of 2600Mhz minimum. A 500gb SSD would also be a nice addition, NVME would work as there's always the chance to have a SATA SSD as secondary storage. And the integrated graphics will be far better than the GT 710, and what you should really spend money on is a decent motherboard, as there would be future upgrade ability. I also assume you want to have it in a small form factor case? again, the Athlon and a decent ITX board would suit fine.
