Build AdviceBudget family PC
Sounds plausible....."family budget PC" implies it won't get a heavy workout very often and you save a few bucks by not buying a cooler.
There is some chance you will have to do a BIOS update for the 13400 if you buy a 600 series board, but I haven't kept up with that. Maybe you can get Microcenter to do it for you to alleviate a bit of worry.
I’m providing some final answers to this discussion.
I’ve bought a new case for my parents and another one for myself.
The idea is to use my old ASUS B450 Prime-II board and get a Ryzen 5 4600G for them. I checked the ASUS site and it says this CPU should work.
I found a deal on 32GB RAM at 3200MHz for around fifty dollars. I expect to buy a 500GB or 1TB NVMe drive as a boot drive for their system.
For the case, I chose the Diypc MA08.
Here are the details:
Ryzen 5 4600G
32GB DDR4 3200MHz
500GB NVMe (maybe)
If I have extra, I’ll add a DVD burner.
A 750-watt PowerSpec modular PSU from MicroCenter (just in case, though it’s more than needed for this build)
Windows 11 Pro
For my own PC, I’m installing an I5 12600K from Amazon during Black Friday.
I’m not sure about the motherboard yet—no budget recommendations have been made yet.
I’ll use a Fractal Design Focus G blue case.
32GB GSKILL Trident Z, DDR4 3200MHz, from my previous build that I plan to reuse.
Corsair RMX 850 watt PSU.
I think I’ll sell my 5600XT and replace it with a 6700XT.
I acquired the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120SE white RGB case based on forum advice.
I’m planning to personalize my case with some decals and figurines. I’ve always liked Donald Duck since childhood, and I wanted my PC to stand out.
