This query asks about a specific computer configuration involving Ryzen 5 8500G with no GPU or a 5 4500 and RX 580.
In reality, using an RX580 in 2025 is a mistake.
Choosing a basic RAM kit is sabotaging your setup.
AM5 needs DDR5-6000MHz support, and a motherboard lacking proper VRM design won’t cut it.
The Q300L tends to overheat, which means you’ll face performance issues over time—eventually needing another PC or just dealing with frustration.
Your power supply is terrible.
Keep in mind, your contributions are redundant and don’t add value.
Today's my party, so this will be the final build because I receive the payment today—please make it right (just one last time)
My party is today so this WILL be the last build cuz I get the money today so pls fix (one last time) Then stylize a follow up post within this thread with info asked of in this thread; *How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice* How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice First off, respect where respect is due - this is an adaptation of the Animal's *How To Ask For New Build Advice* Sticky. I created this because there's a lot of posts nowadays asking for upgrade advice both on here and on the CPU forums, and I feel... forums. If people will think it's worthwhile their time, they will chime in with suggestions otherwise like your prior threads, they'll go belly up.

Have you checked the Minisforum's BD-790i?
It’s a great 16-core system priced around $400 now. It includes an onboard iGPU, though it’s small and suited for office tasks despite its media acceleration capabilities. You might consider pairing it with a couple of SODIMM RAM sticks and likely be able to use your existing case and power supply without issues. As time passes, you can decide whether to upgrade with a more affordable GPU such as the Intel B580 or the upcoming RX9060, maybe even an older RX66xx model.
