Building an office computer, wondering if this is a good build.

[Guest]

I'm building a new office/general use computer. Will probably also be used to take online classes. Also want something that is going to last a decent amount of time. Was wondering if this is a good build.

CPU - Intel Pentium G4560 3.5GHz Dual Core

MotherBoard - MSI B250M PRO-VD Micro ATX LGA1151

Memory - Crucial 8GB (1 x 8gb) DDR4-2133

Storage - ADATA Ultimate SU800 128GB SSD (Mostly for OS and important programs only)
WD Caviar Blue 1TB

Power Supply - Corsair VS 400W 80+ Certified ATX

Left out things like the case, wireless network adapter, etc that I plan on adding as well due to not feeling like it's relevant to the question.

I have build a few computers before however I'm not going to pretend I know much about parts and what not so I figured I might as well ask haha. Sorry if this is not the place to post this.

Looking good.
Only change I would make is getting a better power supply. The VS series is really not very good or reliable. I would recommend something like a new cx450m (https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FQ648d/corsair-power-supply-cp9020101na)

Can be improved somewhat.
I'd still go with a 240GB SSD at least for file storage etc, 120GB is a bit low given 10% needs to be clear at all times to avoid performance drops.

Yes, the power supply should atleast be 80+ certified, you can check the Tom's Hardware forum for better PSU. Reconsider buying an SSD, if it is really important you can go on with it. But if you think SSD is not that important then you can get a better power supply, CX series as Lehan123456789 suggested... You could also take an SSHD in the place of both SSD and HDD if you want to. Ultimately, it is your choice!

Regards.

I think that 1TB of HDD storage is important. Office build, right?

When in the office are you handling files above say 50mb?
If it fills up above 200GB, just back up onto cloud, most workplaces have servers, if not private dropboxes.

Lol.

Okay, but he said office/general use computer so I mean general can have many things, movies for instance, such a short storage of 240 GB will simply not be enough. I am not arguing but just pointing out something, however, it is his choice, he will tell us what he needs.

True, if working with video etc. go for a 1TB HDD.
