win10user999 · 18 Dec 2019

these are the best items that has been recommended for this first last build

mobo = b450 tomahawk
cpu/gpu = amd 2200g igpu
ram = going for 16 or 32 or 64 ram, doesnt seem like anything about ram really matter besides the amount
ssd/hdd = any ssd or hdd would do (there has not been any good tests or analysis from anyone that ssd is any faster than hdd for using youtube, or using chrome)
mini-case = case is decided after right?

what's best power supply for this?

just link with basically why its best

Hi Win10user999

I will start with item 3 - Ram - what do you plan to do with this computer. Ram is extremely important for ram intensive tasks. Photo editing and graphical edit need ram. Browsing will consume RAM if you open many, many tabs. For most people, me included, 16 GB is all you need. I don't do a lot of graphical work and I don't game.

SSD's are much faster and while watching a youtube video may not make a significant difference there are many processes that will benefit. Booting, Window and program updates, program starts. HDD's are great for bulk storage but your overall experience with your new device will be so much better with an SSD.

Case - yes a case is one of the last decisions but in the case of Home Theaters it could be your first. Case selection will be based on your Motherboard size, number of storage devices, ( you can hide a lot of SSD's in a case), front connectors required and will it support your cooling solution. Are you thinking Air coolers, the really good ones can be big, AIO water coolers might be smaller but their rads have to go somewhere. How quiet do you want this rig to be. I would also be looking for a case that filters the air it draws in. Easier to clean a filter than the insides of your PC.

As to PSU's I use Corsair. Their name appears in many reviews which I'm sure you've seen. Other members will have a different opinion.

I have been reading a lot about AMD and what it prefers with regard to RAM. The CPU/GPU is a Ryzen 3 processor which according to virtually everything I have seen prefers faster RAM, something like DDR4-3200 or above. The iGPU utilizes the RAM installed in your system, faster RAM should equal better performance.
