Does my PC build look good /g/ Anonymous 09/05/25(Fri)10:17:23 No.106491842 Archived

What's up /g/tards, I'm building my first PC after being a years-long Mac user. Could I do better with the price? The estimate pcpartpicker gave was $630, and that's before shipping. I only plan on doing some programming and general browsing on it. Don't really need an intensive machine.

You're buying a platform from 2016. Consider AM5.

>850 W psu
Unnecessary, save $100 and get something smaller or put the money towards cpu or ram.

I did reading and people say not to cheap out on PSU. I wanted a bigger one so I could eventually have a graphics card. Looking towards the future.

It's shit. Why are you going out of your way to buy something that outdated and shitty? You could get a mobo and processor that are actually still within support for barely any more money.

I don't really want a minipc, but you're right. I changed out my PSU. This is what I have right now.
