Question Are these PC components good?

[smalltech]

Hello,

I want to surf internet load webpages fast without lag, open many browser tabs, youtube, zoom, microsoft office, power on for 365 days continuously without switching off (I have scheduled auto backup during I am sleeping)

Are these components good? Are there any parts that you would change that are better value for money?

Case: Montech Air 100 (4 ARGB Fans) - Black
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
Motherboard: Asus B550M-A Prime Wi-Fi II & Bluetooth (DDR4)
Cooler: ID Cooling SE226-XT - Black
Graphics Card: AMD RX 6500XT 4 GB - Powercolor
SSD: Lexar NM790 1 TB Gen.4 - R:7400/W:6500
Ram: Lexar RGB Ares 32 GB 3600 MHz
Power Supply: Silverstone ES230 500 W 80+
OS: Un-Activated Windows 10 Home 64-Bit

Thanks

At face value, the specs listed above are good to go. I would up the wattage on the PSU, looking for a higher quality unit.

I would look at this cpu in the link. It would be ideal imo for your purposes.

Yup, the cheap group-regulated power supply is the biggest red flag here.

If I change PSU to 1 or 2 would it be good enough?
1. Silverstone 650 W 80+ Gold
2. Silverstone 750 W 80+ Gold

I am a noob, if [Silverstone ES230 500 W 80+] 500 W can power up the pc, why would I need 650 W?

It's not a wattage problem, it's a quality problem. That first Silverstone you initially posted is a very cheaply made, bargain basement one, with an ancient design that is basically made to run office PCs of 1997, not a modern PC that uses almost entirely +12V power and uses a discrete GPU.

The other two are likely fine, but without a model, I can't give a definitive answer.

Especially so for a system that is going to be running 24x7.

A 650W Tier A unit would be the ideal choice.

I do not see 650W in the Tier A list, most Tier A are 1000W and above.

I would change my PSU to Silverstone 650 W 80+ Gold. I think for 650W this is the cheapest.

if you tell us where you are buying from and your budget, we can help you better.

Therein lies your issue. Buy cheap, buy twice. Don't skimp on the PSU.

As you are not gaming, getting that GPU is a waste of money. A 5700g would make more sense here.

5700g without graphics card vs 5600x with a graphics card, which one is faster? If they are same speed, which one more value for money or pros/cons?

If the integrated graphics card in the 5700g is faulty, does it mean I would need to change the whole ryzen 5700g chip?

If the integrated graphics card in the 5700g is faulty, can I add a graphics card on the motherboard and continue use the 5700g without removing it?

I was thinking if the motherboard sense that there is a independent graphics card it would use it first and ignore the integrated graphics card in the 5700g cpu chip, is it correct?

Correct me if I am wrong, I am a noob, I was thinking using a independent graphics card on motherboard is better because graphics card would become faulty faster than the cpu chip. It is easier to change a graphics card (just plug out/plug in) than changing a cpu chip? (I don't know how to apply/remove thermal paste, metal spring hook to remove/insert cpu chip, remove/insert cooler fan)

components like CPU wont go faulty if you use the automatic settings in Bios like PBO and auto OC. Very low chance of CPU going faulty.

the only scenario where i think where the GPU can be handy is when it uses AMD FSR to upscale the content like videos playing in the browser...

Regarding PSU, both the RM650 and the Focus GM-650 are much better units than the VIVA series from silverstone.
