Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: ASAP
Budget Range: $650
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Office work (multiple browser tabs, think 40+)
Are you buying a monitor: No
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Additional Comments: Hi everyone! Looking for a good base to build from with the intention of adding a video card later on (probably RX 480). Mostly office work, but I would like to game a little bit in the future. I chose this small case because I want a discrete and portable machine. I am hoping to keep noise down. I am concerned a little bit about temps, especially if I spring for an RX 480. I've done some research, and I think this is a solid start. Any critiques or suggestions?
Thanks!
