hi all

I'm trying to build a RIG for office use with no monitor. Mainly use for Microsoft office apps, email, internet browsing. With limited budget of below RM1500.

here are the specs.

CPU – DUALCORE G4400
MotherBoard– ASUS H110M-K
RAM – Value Ram DDR4
HDD – WESTERN DIGITAL BLUE
ODD – ASUS/LiteOn/LG
CASING – CM Elite 343 Micro ATX
PSU – CM Elite 350W
KEYBOARD & MOUSE COMBO – Logitech Media Combo MK200

Is this spec OK or can I lower some spec to save budget. Will be buying 5 sets of those.

Thanks

Yup.

G.Skill TridentZ (AMD) 32GB DDR4-3200 is RM899. Do you really need better GC? I don't see gaming. Unless you wanna use NVEnc acceleration which the quality is not as good as CPU based encoding.

If you need casing with front panel USB type-C connector, you have to look around.

Just add these parts and you are good to go

Core i7-10700 (with built-in graphics for backup) - 1399
MSI B460M Mortar - 529
Pick a brand 8GB DDR4-3200 X2 - 318
PNY CS3030 500GB - 309 (optional)

Used built-in CPU because I don't know how long your 5870 can last. iGPU can be a backup for you.

Look for RTX 3060 12GB (ignore 8GB) or RX 6700 XT 12GB. Still, how far are you willing to go?
