What's the intended use case?

While there's nothing "wrong" with the build, there's nothing overly groundbreaking either. That's pretty much a general use; web-browsing etc setup.

If that's all you're going for, a refurbished older i5 desktop would be a cheaper option.

$129. Add a larger HDD, and your investment is <$180. Vs the $340 + Os you were proposing.

1. Use 2 sticks.... 2 x 4GB is the minimum for anything these days. This is like the 10th post I have seen w/ 1 stick of RAM in a dual channel board. Have to ask, where is this idea coming from of late that this installing single sticks in a dual channel board is a good idea ?

2. While I can understand being budget limited, this would fail to meet anything more than just basic needs for most users.

4gb is not enough, use a 2 x 4gb kit.
And... since you do not include a discrete graphics card, I assume you will at least initially the integrated HD610 graphics.
Integrate graphics performance is much better with dual channel ram.


I will never again build without a ssd for the "C" drive. It makes everything you do much quicker.
120gb is minimum, it will hold the os and a handful of games.
But, many things default to the "C" drive.
When a SSD nears full, it will lose performance and endurance.
240gb is the recommended minimum.

If you can go 240gb, or 500gb you may never need a hard drive.

You can defer on the hard drive unless you need to store large files such as video's.
It is easy to add a hard drive later.

Samsung EVO is a good choice for performance and reliability.

4 GB isn't enough these days. Get at least 8 GB in either 2 x 4 or a single 8 GB stick. And you're also missing a GPU. The G4560 comes with Intel HD Graphics 610, which isn't enough for anything over 720p lowest settings, with around 20-30 FPS.

Get an Athlon x4 950 and upgrade to Ryzen 5 1600 later, also 2 4gb sticks are a must investment.

You'll get a couple of years out of that CPU IMO & ryzen 2 will be out by then so a drop in CPU upgrade should be possible.

Better option in the long term IMO.
