New home/office PC build -ok?

Current Zoostorm PC is 8 years old and showing its age......... I'm thinking this build will load programs somewhat quicker and MS programs, email, multiple browser sessions will pose no problem. Not intending to game with it.
Current PC will not meet Windows 11 requirements.
Monitor is Philips Brilliance 273PLPH 27" refresh 60Hz which I intend to keep using.
Router hard wired to current PC, no problem to do this with this build? Printer will still connect with current leads?
Any glaring inconsistencies or system 'out of balance' component wise?
Grateful for any input from those that know, thanks!

You can knock off £39 by going down to the Prime board as WiFi isn't needed, but apart from that I agree wholeheartedly.
 
But I cannot specify a

Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 5 5600G Six Core CPU with Radeon™ Graphics (3.9GHz-4.4GHz/19MB CACHE/AM4)

at the moment, not an allowable option. (unless I'm missing something......)

Nor can I specify
Motherboard
ASUS® TUF GAMING B550-PLUS WiFi (DDR4, USB 3.2, 6Gb/s) - ARGB Ready!

so I'm a little confused at these suggestions......

You're on the office configurator, I think. If you've already ordered it, you'd need to phone PCS to change to a standard build. It's very well worth doing. It's stupid, but you can't actually order a good value PC on the cheaper system.
 
Ok, I have unconfused myself a little..........
I've made some changes following above responses and modified as below.
Some questions:
- does it hang together as a spec for home/office use (no gaming)?
- will the case be ok for the components selected?
- RAM: suggested above to go for the RGB PRO variant , but do I really 'need' that when not gaming?
- Graphics Card - I don't already have one, is that correct option below to select?
- I'd originally selected
1st Storage Drive
512GB PCS 2.5" SSD, SATA 6 Gb (520MB/R, 450MB/W)
1st M.2 SSD Drive
512GB INTEL® 660p M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 1500MB/sR | 1000MB/sW)
but has been suggested just one drive is ok as below. If I'm not gaming, is that ok/sensible?
- increased PSU to cope with power demand ok?

Thanks for your help!

I would not recommend that case. It's probably ok in terms of keeping things cool (frankly you haven't got a lot to get hot!) but it will be fairly noisy. For just a bit more, the Corsair is miles better. Then I'd have an external DVD drive as that case won't support one.

With RAM you don't need RGB (no one actually needs it!) but you do want 3200MHz and dual channel (ie two sticks): it makes a big performance difference. The RGB actually makes it cheaper for some reason.

To save you a bit I'd go for the Prime B550 motherboard. It'll be plenty for you

With storage, there's no need to go for two drives and I definitely wouldn't go SATA: there's no benefit to you.

All this adds a bit to the price but it'll make the world of difference to performance and quietness.

Thanks SCK451, MARTINR36, STEVEYG for your contributions. Latest improved version below. Questions I still have:

Case - FRACTAL FOCUS G BLACK GAMING CASE or CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING. Best of these two or much of a muchness?
Storage - I have 500GB storage on current machine but use <100GB so thinking that 1TB is over the top as don't expect to significantly increase. Sensible to cut back to 500/512GB M.2 size drive to save a few pennies? EHD is for backups.

Wireless Network Card
WIRELESS 802.11N 300Mbps/2.4GHz PCI-E CARD - if I'm going cable to the router, I won't need this will I?

Power supply - spec suggested to use 128W max power, cut back to lower size Corsair unit?

(just noticed that build priced at £0.00 below, don't know why that is......)

Any other comments gratefully received so that I can commit to an order, thanks

For a case, the Fractal is great, but the Corsair is awesome for the price. I'd strongly prefer it.

For storage 500GB is probably fine.

You don't need the WiFi card if you're not going to use it. But I'd stick with the 550W power supply even though it's strictly speaking unnecessary as it will give more efficient and quiet performance as well as making any future upgrades far, far easier because it is semi-modular.
 
Got there in the end, now ordered.........thanks for your help!
