Build Advice Will this build work fine?

I'm building a custom PC for work because my old one is getting kind of sluggish since I built it in 2013. Can some of you who have more experience with this kind of thing tell me if there are any problems I should be aware of with this build? Also, this build is for a workhorse, not a gaming PC, so I will be using integrated graphics, and no GPU. I plan to use the CPU fan that comes with the processor. I also plan to port Windows 10 from my current drive. The case, fans, and bluray player are all parts from my previous build. The rest is new.

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 8600G

Motherboard: GIGABYTE B650 EAGLE AX

Drive: SAMSUNG 990 EVO SSD 2TB M.2 2280

RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5 7200

Case: Fractal Design Focus G

Fans: be quiet! Pure Wings 2 120mm BL039 x 3

Other: LG UH12NS30 Blu-Ray Reader

Look for memory that states it supports EXPO (AMD's version of XMP). Some memory will support both. Not sure about what you selected.

Overall, it should perform okay. Please note, you should not assume you'll be able to successfully move your existing storage from your existing system and it run properly in the new configuration.

A fresh, clean installation of the OS and applications would be much better in terms of performance and assured success.

Also, Win 10 support is rapidly coming to an end. You really should consider moving to Win 11.

I am transferring from a Samsung drive to another Samsung drive. They have a program that handles the transfer for you, you just hit a button and let it go. As for windows 11... I hate it, it sucks. I tried it on someone else's computer and the interface is awful. I may actually try Linux Mint, but I just don't like Windows 11. The nail in the coffin for me was the recall feature. I know you can turn it off, but the fact that I can't remove it is a non-starter for me.
