Hey,
I'm building a new system and will be buying the parts later today.
I just wanted to get a confirmation that all the parts will work together.
And also is there anyway to reduce the cost while maintaining the performance?
Will this build have the option to upgrade in like 5 years?

It will not be used for gaming. Mainly used has household power house, web browsing, photo editing, Microsoft office...
All prices are in CAD.

Thanks guys!

To answer your other question; Nothing is "Future Proof", However, We are in a lul where hardware is faster than it needs to be and programmers need to fix errors in their code (Part of the reason for data collection and automatic updates) so some software is starting; at least the technology for certain software to "self correct" bugs is out there.

Having said that, the computer you build today might get you 10 or 15 years if it is built correctly and individual parts are upgraded as needed, etc. That is not to say that in 15 years the technology will be that much faster if you will. But you should be good for a while.
