compact crypt
simple galleon
#

thats the build

#

for simple stuff emails and stuff

compact crypt
#

would definitely avoid biostar

simple galleon
#

k

wheat moat
#

That RAM is… interesting

simple galleon
#

the dont have wifi anyways

compact crypt
#

RAM isn't optimal either, would do 3200 CL16 or similar

simple galleon
#

thats the other option

compact crypt
#

the price difference between 8GB and 16GB is so minimal these days its worth it to just spend extra and go 16GB of 3200 CL16

simple galleon
#

its all nz market btw

wheat moat
#

Is the 3200CL22 kit even cheaper than something better

simple galleon
#

the pc is for my mum and im trying to keep it as cheap as posiable

#

so i was going to get 1x8 and get a 2nd one later if needed

compact crypt
#

though if you want "cheap as possible" i would avoid ITX altogether

simple galleon
compact crypt
#

micro ATX is fairly small as well

simple galleon
#

the nr200p is kinda the biggest case that will fit

wheat moat
#

NR200 is practically mATX, some mATX boards actually fit in there iirc

#

It’s funny, because I’m 100% sure it’s cheaper to go 2 1x8 3200C16 RGB RS than the 2x8 2666CL16 kit you linked @compact crypt

compact crypt
#

i have newegg nz disabled

wheat moat
#

Ah right

compact crypt
#

he will get fucked with shipping should he choose to buy from newegg

simple galleon
#

new egg is like $50 shipping minimum

wheat moat
#

Yeah, just noticed that

#

It’s weird, because 2x4 ram isn’t viable as it’s too expensive

#

It comes out close to 2x8

compact crypt
simple galleon
#

i own the nr200p

#

and the psu

compact crypt
#

ah okay

#

what i posted above will be your best bet then

#

^ for reference heres the list

simple galleon
#

so is it fine if i just get the 1x8 kit now or is it to bad?

compact crypt
#

i would avoid getting the kit you linked earlier

#

its actual garbage

#

B460 downclocks to 2666 anyways, and 2666 CL22 is terrible

wheat moat
#

It will work fine, it just won’t be optimal in the long run

#

Your CPU will have half the bandwidth trying to get information, and it would run slower at the same time

simple galleon
#

and

#

i have a old gt 610

#

should i use that and get a non igpu?

#

bc the cpu is like $60 cheaper

#

or would a igpu be way better?

compact crypt
#

The iGPU is a notable improvement over the GT 610

wheat moat
#

iGPU would be way better but it realistically shouldn’t matter a whole ton

#

It’s just for emails and web surfing right?

#

Should be doable on a 610

simple galleon
#

yea

#

but it need to last ages

compact crypt
#

In which case the 16GB of RAM is highly recommended

simple galleon
#

so how long do u think it will last before getting slow

wheat moat
#

There shouldn’t be that many changes to make the 610 actually unusable in the foreseeable future, but the IGP would definitely last longer

simple galleon
compact crypt
#

Yeah but that’s effort later down the line

simple galleon
wheat moat
#

The issue with the 8GB now is that it’s going to be really slow and have half the bandwidth down the line

compact crypt
#

It’s harder to find a matching stick later on

wheat moat
#

Even when you get the 2nd stick, it’ll run with really high latency

compact crypt
#

2666 CL22 is painful

#

2666 CL16 is tolerable

simple galleon
compact crypt
#

10 years

simple galleon
#

k great

wheat moat
#

Doing basic shit? A really long time

compact crypt
#

10 years is a conservative estimate

simple galleon
#

bc my mum has a hp aio from 2016

#

and it takes like 178 years for it to boot up

compact crypt
#

This thing should be able to browse the web in 2036 fine still

wheat moat
#

In 2036 the display will be embedded into your brain

placid wyvern
wheat moat
#

Ben, no

compact crypt
#

I remember that

placid wyvern
#

So case and psu he already has?

simple galleon
#

but the psu it 550 w

compact crypt
#

Shouldn’t matter unless you intend on installing a gaming graphics card

simple galleon
#

yea

wheat moat
#

Even if you decide to add a GPU down the line, that’s a ton of headroom lmao
