New HTPC build advice

[bartkomorowski]

Hey all,

Wanted to put together a new HTPC with the following setup

Asus prime a320k-m mobo
Ryzen 5 1400
Noctua lh9i cooler
Crucial 8gb 2400
Corsair sf450
Silverstone sst-gd06b

But I read the 320 mobo onboard video doesn't work with ryzen chips. This is supposed to be an HTPC basic setup for HD video and maybe Minecraft *smiles*

Would you guys recommend anything different? Budget is key as this system won't be used that often.

Advice much appreciated.

I use one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/hp-elitedesk-800-g2-mini-i5-6500t-2-5ghz-4gb-500gb-win-10-pro-wireless-a-c/253658050520?hash=item3b0f32afd8:g:HKsAAOSwRNRbDs~d

Switch out the HDD for an SSD, add a wireless keyboard, and you are set to go!

I finally added a USB external DVD drive. My lil system has been flawless for three years. Highly recommended!

If you wait you can often find an open box offer with full inhome warrantee and a 256GB ssd for a lil more cash.

Only the second gen Ryzen chips include on-board graphics. You'd need to go with an AMD Ryzen 2xxx series chip. For your purposes, even a Ryzen 3 2200G should be more than sufficient.
