You're right, I don't really need the ryzen 7.

Yeah, let's go back to 6th gen when 10th is out. Not including that ryzen is better.

Kind of going over budget at $670 but it would be a decent build for a while.

Powersupply is overkill but if you want a higher watt power supply get this. Seasonic is the top-end of power supplies:

Overall I think this build is complete overkill for what you're looking to use it for, but it is a solid build that will work for what you want.

I've been in the COCH section for a long time. Probably the longest out of everyone that still posts here.


It's not too bad. That's a surprisingly good PSU to bare the "Apevia" name.
