Hey,

I have put together an office build, it is mainly use for label printing software (bartender) excel databases, adobe illustrator and general use beside that.
We have had a couple pre builds the past couple years but there is usually something lacking, so i tought i'd build something myself.
Question is is this build decent? We hope to use this for atleast 5+ years, but i have been out of the loop when it comes to pc building for like 6 years so any advice is welcome.

You are missing a discrete GPU ion your build, in case you didn't notice that. The Ryzen 5 5600 doesn't have an iGPU. If you were to build an AM5 platform with a Ryzen 5 7600, then you'd be able to work off the iGPU.

if you have a discrete GPU stowed away, then outside of that, your build looks fine. Could've beens aller for an office build but I doubt one would be built with the same price.

Hey,

Thanks for the reply, I totally overlooked the fact that the 5600 doesnt have an iGPU.
Would a 5600G work as well or would it be better to do an AM5 build with the Ryzen 5 7600?
