Hi, I'm thinking about building a versatile computer for various tasks like navigation, casual gaming, watching movies, video editing, photo editing, and office work. It should include at least a 1TB SSD and a 24-inch monitor. You've shared two main options: the 8500G vs 693 and the 5600G vs 578. The first option lasts longer but is more expensive, while the second is cheaper but still suitable for current needs. Are there any issues with these pairings? Do all components fit together well? Is there a more affordable alternative that offers better value? Does the extra 115 euros make sense? Can everything fit into a single ATX case? Are there better all-in-one PC monitor solutions available at similar prices?

The first option is clearly superior.

"Active PFC" offers the simplest choice available. It's similar to a car claiming "glass windows." This is the most affordable selection on the page, something I wouldn't ask anyone to pay to have removed from their hands and sent to a recycling facility.
