I'm sorry, I didn't understand that. I will follow the correct approach from now on.
I think it would be convenient to have it micro ATX just for easier transport during the flight. I should have mentioned that earlier. Also, I’m curious about the motherboard I used in my updated build (B550M-K). There’s a possibility with a build like this that a C tier PSU such as the MSI MAG might be acceptable. However, since my dad is a heavy smoker, I’m not sure it would be ideal and might affect the C tier performance.
Also what’s this discussion regarding dual-rank versus single-rank RAM? You’ve probably heard that opting for a 4x8 configuration can be more strategic.
The suggested specifications indicate a need for 16 processing threads. The R5-5600 does not meet this requirement with only 12. There is a recommendation for 32gb of RAM, but the available 16gb is insufficient. A quality power supply is essential; its condition should be considered carefully as a faulty PSU can damage other components like the motherboard. Upgrading the graphics card is typically the most frequent change, so consider purchasing a more robust PSU initially. It will only draw the power it requires. The listed requirements may be outdated, and newer parts are generally more efficient and affordable. The R7-5700X could be suitable, or the i5-13400 found in pre-built systems might work. However, pre-built units are often not upgraded well, especially the PSU, which tends to be low quality and inexpensive. Regarding graphics cards, personal experience with various models has diminished. For a better comparison, you may refer to Tom's GPU hierarchy charts.
