Hey everyone! I'm putting together my first PC using a Ryzen 7 8700G and I'm not planning to add a GPU right away. This setup will mostly be for work tasks like using Microsoft Office and programming, along with some light gaming, primarily League of Legends. Upgradeability is something I'm really aiming for with this build.
Here's what I've got so far:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 7 8700G
- **Motherboard:** ASUS TUF B650M-PLUS WIFI
- **RAM:** TeamGroup Delta RGB DDR5-6000 CL30 (2x16 GB)
- **SSD:** Lexar NM790 1TB PCIe 4.0
- **Case:** Fractal Focus G Mini
- **PSU:** be quiet! Pure Power 12M 550W ATX 3.0 (Gold)
I'd love to hear any feedback! Are there any major compatibility concerns or potential bottlenecks with this build? Also, is there any component you'd suggest swapping out without raising the cost? Thanks for any help!

Your build looks solid overall! The only thing I would tweak is the case. While the Fractal Focus G Mini is decent, it’s a bit dated. You might want to check out newer MATX mini towers like the H16 or the Thermaltake Elite 301 Lite, which have some nice features like better airflow and RGB fans. Just a thought!
Good point! I had chosen the Focus G Mini because some newer cases I looked at had USB-C ports that wouldn't work with my motherboard. But yeah, the H16 is in the same price range and looks cooler with RGB. I'll probably switch to that!
