Building a Computer for my Dad's Bday
Hey, I'm trying to build a computer for my Dad that's super low budget... I think he'd be into single player games like Cities Skylines and similar games. He's got gaming monitors already. The motherboard needs WiFi.
He'd use it instead of his work computer, which he uses for 2D/3D drafting and design.
Trying to build this quick as his bday is coming up at the end of Jan
Max. Budget
$500.00

Made some revisions
The B550M-A II isn't an amazing board, and for a 5700X I feel like there are some better options for not much more, and I chose the B550M Pro-VC WiFi. I also changed out the SSD to save $40, assuming that the one you chose jumped up in price recently. For the same price, I swapped the PSU out for the MSI A550BN.
Here you go
This is a really nice low cost Mirco ATX build without a GPU, and the CPU has great integrated graphics and it will be able to run CPU heavy games
