Trying to build a pink case for the wife that’s relatively future proof. No gaming, just web browsing, music (not production), YouTube, and ms office stuff.
The problem is that I’ve only built two machines and this is the first time I’m doing a color scheme. Im also stuck between DDR4 and 5. I don’t think she needs the power but if I don’t get the 5 now I feel like I’d have to replace the mobo if she needs to upgrade.
If theres any suggestions yall have to make it more compatible, more pink, cheaper, or more powerful without spending much more, please roast me on it (don’t change the case though she’s set on that).
Just commented about popping out my useless SLI and throwing one of my useless 1080s into this build
Also you think the integrated graphics would be fine for a 32in/large 4k monitor?
If it’s not for gaming or video editing/compression, the igpu will be plenty. That’s what those are for.
If any 3d gaming is going to happen, you can add the gpu in, but that’s an easy drop-in upgrade anyway. You can just stick it in there at a later time if you want.
If you switch to AMD G-series, the iGPUs are much more capable than their contemporary Intel counterparts. I did gaming solely on a 5600G while I waited for GPU prices to drop, and I was able to play the entire BioShock series, Halo Infinite, Prey, Savage Planet, and several others on medium settings, getting 45-55fps @ 1080p (32GB, DDR4 3666 C16).
I don’t know about 4K, but I would think it’s in the realm of possibility for a non-gaming target.
If my 8th gen Mac mini handles it just fine a 14th gen i5 will handle it just fine. My laptop has the same GPU and I can play a surprising amount of games pretty well on it.
The gtx 1080 would be overkill for just one monitor. Unless you’re doing 3+ displays with lots of video skip the dedicated GPU and save the power.
