[SOLVED] Opinion on possible build

[Super600300]

I am thinking about building a pc and am wanting an experienced persons opinion. I am wondering if the parts are compatible and how well the pc will function doing tasks which mainly consist of browsing chrome with a about 6-8 tabs open. I am also curious if the parts are overkill or need to be upgraded.

I would advise getting a better CPU. The Celeron only has like 2 threads and is rather weak. It may not even handle many tabs well.

What is your budget?
Your parts are compatible.

But, if you have some budget room, here are some suggestions:

a) $15 more will buy you a G5400, a stronger processor with 4 threads.

b) Chrome tends to need lots of ram. See if you can't manage a 2 x 8gb DDR4 ram kit. Speed does not matter.
Adding ram later can not be guaranteed to work. ram must be matched. perhaps 90% chance of success adding ram later.

c) 120gb is marginal for a windows C drive. When it nears full, you will lose performance and endurance.
See if you can't manage 240gb. Samsung and Intel are good.
Here is an intel 760P 240gb m.2 pcie drive for $49:
