I'm in Canada and building a PC for my dad. He basically just surfs the web and watches youtube. I'm pretty sure he'll require wifi. I figured 500GB of storage is good enough and just went with 16GB Ram because price gap isn't that huge vs 8GB. As for the PSU I didn't know if I should go full modular or not, I'm not too knowledgeable in that are.
Only thing I wasn't sure on this build was if the SSD storage unit would fit in this case, it says its a 2.5" and didn't see anything about it on the case specs but idk

Let me know what you guys think, thanks

I probably wouldn't buy that SSD, but all else looks OK.

You think that SSD will have a slot for it internally inside the case?

Instead of that "Team GX2", I'd rather get a Samsung 870 EVO, or Crucial MX500.

Or an NVMe drive, such as a Samsung 970 EVO. The M.2_1 port can utilize this.

Do you think he'd be fine with just 8GB RAM or do you recommend 16GB?

16.
This will be a several year system. Don't cripple it from the start.

Don't know if you already have it, but personally i'd rather use the next case, it comes with two fans, a mesh front and psu at the bottom.

Why not just buy a mini PC that’s already made for 600 bucks. Why bother building anything if all he uses it for is surfing
