I'm in Brazil where PC parts are pretty pricey, so I'm looking for some help choosing between two builds. Here's what I've got:
1. Ryzen 5 5500 with an RX 580 (2048SP), 16GB RAM (2x8GB DDR4), and MSI A520M-A Pro Micro ATX.
2. Ryzen 8600G with integrated graphics, 16GB RAM (1x16GB DDR5, but I plan to upgrade to 32GB later), and MSI PRO A620M-E Micro ATX.
I already have a Corsair HX850W PSU, and I've got a case, fans, and cooler sorted out. Which build do you think is better?

I'd go with the first option! The Ryzen 5 5500 and RX 580 combo is still solid for both office work and medium gaming.
Yeah, the only games I really play are CS2 and R6, and I also do some music production. I'm leaning towards the first option too!
But remember, the RX 580 2048SP is basically a cut-down version, which usually falls behind something like the GTX 1650. Maybe considering the iGPU on the 8600G isn't a bad idea?
