My first PC build in ten years, my current PC hardware is incompatible with the latest windows release. I'm aiming for quietness and reliability over power.

I'm quite excited to get my hands on some parts again. Let me know what you think! :D

I think you should cut some budget elsewhere to update that 1630 to something better if possible. Unless you're not going for gaming...

I don't really play games. If I do, I definitely won't be bothered about playing them on the max settings.

I selected this graphics card based upon its 0db running mode. To be honest, the onboard graphics would probably have been enough for my usage, but I did want a graphics card just incase a game did take my fancy and to free up the CPU for music editing.

If you don't want to do serious gaming, get a 5700G (the one with iGPU) instead of a 5600X (without iGPU) and skip the 1630 altogether. The 1630 is a waste of silicon and money.

Some other comment is saying to get a 850W PSU, I don't agree with that. 750W is future proof even for top end GPUs, and if you don't want to ever add a good GPU then you could survive on 400W or even less.

Thanks for the advice
