Making a office computer that will also server as a browser and video streamer. The main thing to know is that it is NOT a gamer.

Give me your opinion. I expect this to still be good for at least 5 years. Theres a few other parts I need but these are the critical ones I need reassurance on.

Thanks.



 
Generally looks OK to me.

Your motherboard will accept an NVME drive instead of a 2.5 inch SSD if you want to do that, but nothing wrong with a traditional 2.5 inch SSD.

Is that RAM found on the motherboard's official qualified memory list? If it isn't, it may still work fine. Do you need RGB RAM at all?

Not sure about that power supply. May be fine if you need to watch the budget. 450 watts should be enough, but I don't know about the quality.

No mention of necessary parts like a case.

You don't need to put a 550 motherboard with this processor that supports PCI_E 3.
Change the motherboard to a relatively cheap 650, with an 8700G processor and DDR5 RAM and Nvme disk
