Hi, I'm trying to build a casual pc for watching videos, surfing the net and maybe for some light gaming. I tried using PCPartPicker but it was still confusing. I'm really confused about buying the motherboard and if I should buy or do I need a graphics card at all. Also, the reason I really don't want to buy a pre-built PC is that I think I can build a little bit better PC than the pre-built ones because all the cheapest desktop PCs are around 300 €.
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.:
Before the end of this month
Budget Range:
Little over 300€, but not too close to 400€. (Maybe 350€ max)

Internet surfing, light gaming (league of legends)
Are you buying a monitor:
No
Parts to Upgrade:
-
Do you need to buy OS:
Yes (Windows 10)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:

Finland
Parts Preferences:
CPU | AMD - Ryzen 3 2200G 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Processor 89,00 € (on sale)

Case | Thermalteake Core V1, Mini-ITX-case 44 €
(The case is pretty important because I really like it how small it is, so hopefully, it doesn't bring any problems)
Storage | WD 240GB Green 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive 34,95 €
(I really don't need much storage. In my current laptop I have only 128GB SSD, which is just enough for me)

I'm using Nvidia GeForce Now (gaming streaming app) to play games and it works perfectly, so graphics card not really needed???

Just wanted to upgrade from my slow laptop after all these years to a proper desktop PC, and also now that I really don't need a gaming PC at all thanks to the Nvidia GeForce Now.
