Hi sifus here, currently existing PC dying (using halfway and suddenly freeze) and in the market to look to build my next one. Appreciate if can recommend base on below criteria:
Budget: Around 3k
Re-used parts: Keyboard, mouse, monitor, speaker, wifi card. (Not sure can re-use: PSU, SSD, HDD)
Purpose of PC: Mainly for work (AutoCAD, light video editing), light gaming (Star Rail, Genshin)
Preferences: No RGB, case with small footprint (thinking iTX)
TLDR, need a work PC with as little fuss as possible.
Many thanks!!

For your budget, ITX is tough as your will pay the ITX tax. Anyhow I would suggest a budget around this build
R7 8700G
MPG B650I EDGE WIFI
2x 16GB 6000MHZ CL30 DDR5 (low profile non RGB)
(No GPU - use iGPU)
(No storage - reuse)
BeQuiet SFX L POWER 600W
Case ITX Lianli A4-H2O
Optional if you can get cheaper CPU+GPU combo
R5 7500F
GTX 1660 /Ti
Switch the casing to Deepcool CH160. That ridiculous RM3k budget will not fit a decent build with A4-H2O. Intel is better for video editing. Quick Sync is overpowered.
Try
Core i5-14400 - 615
Colorful H610i Smart Wifi - 400
Kingston HyperX Fury Beast 16GB DDR4-3200 X2 - 357
Inno3D RTX 3050 6GB Twin X2 - 685
Kingston KC3000 1TB (will run at PCIE 3.0 speed) - 368
1st Player SFX Gold 650W - 390
Deepcool CH160 case - 184
Thermalright C12C fan X2 - 46
RM3045 total (Shopee Prices)
