My first PC build in ten years, my current PC hardware is incompatible with the latest windows release. I’m aiming for quietness and reliability over power.
I’m quite excited to get my hands on some parts again. Let me know what you think! :D

The CPU fan is 25.1dB at full speed, so hopefully almost silent at no load.
I’m extremely unlikely to be playing any modern games and will using the PC mostly for music and media, although I am starting to wonder if I should have just stuck with the mobo onboard graphics.
Modern is pretty relative when your GPU generation is 4 years old.
Plus it’s the lowest power of all of that gen.
I am curious how much better performance you’d get from only onboard graphics.
If you’re using hi-res monitors or multiple monitors, it’s probably good to not be using integrated graphics, I guess.
The 5600X doesn’t have onboard graphics. That would be the 5600G, which would have about the same graphics performance as the GTX 1630.
It’s relatively modern when my current graphics card is ten years old and also wasn’t close to top of the range back then 😅
I’m probably just going to use one 1080p monitor for now.
I think I should have made a post asking for recommendations of “semi silent” graphics card before I selected this one.
Ah no I meant “modern” games.
But yeah 10 year old games should be fine 😜
