Okay
thanks for the info as it will help me choose the right parts and probably save you a few $. Ideally, whatever the PC is for I try to limit throttling/bottlenecking processes and make sure all the parts are compatible but also run as seamlessly as possible together. For example, if one wants one of those super powerful GPU's but doesn't back it up with good enough RAM it's not going to run well. The parts for this PC which are automatically chosen means it'll run, you'd be able to watch Youtube but gaming/processing in art programs not so much. I'll repost the link with a few upgrades then we can go from there. If you would like any explanation of the parts I chose please don't hesitate to ask. It may be confusing at first but it's good to know.
Edit:
New spec recs here:
(you need an account to see links)
-Processor: upped to AMD Ryzen 7 w/ 8 cores. Art software uses multiple cores usually, any more would slow the processes down and any less would hinder quality.
-Upped motherboard to power upgraded parts and overall performance.
-Upped RAM to DDR5 for motherboard compatibility. This also gives improved bandwidth and power efficiency with a bit of future proofing. Kept it at 16G, as running Cyberpunk is 16G min and most art softwares use max 16G. I usually advise 32G as a minimum but that's not always the case.
-GPU I had to go on the lower side due to the budget restraints but should run everything you need esp. if it's just youtube. & Cyberpunk can still be played at medium settings.
-Kept primary M.2 (SSD Drive) at 1TB. I recommend 2TB but 1TB should be enough for art programs and a handful of games. Games can always be deleted and re-installed if need be, or stored in a non-primary drive.
-They had no harddrive as the default option. Other options were SSD and platter drives. Technically if you have a primary M.2 you don't need one of these. However, I don't recommend it due to potentially throttling processing speeds. It's good for just watching TV but any gaming or art processing would not be ideal. I chose SSD instead of platter drives, as platter drives still work nowadays but still underperformed a bit. They are good at reading and writing but their input/output speeds are lacklustre. I chose a 2TB SSD for you but if you'd like to switch to 1TB that's fine. Just want to make sure you have enough storage should you want to do big art projects down the road. Plus, for future proofing, the longer you have this build the more storage will be used.
-Upped 4 fans to 6. The cooler your PC is the better. All computers get HOT so it is important that they get cooled enough to not endanger parts. It's good for longevity of the parts and the quality as well.
-Power supply upped to be able to power all components. Every computer part uses electricity to function. There may be some extra wattage available, you always want more and not less. This also aides in future proofing if newer parts are needed down the road that require more wattage.
My reasonings/an explanation: I always use some guidelines when I am considering a build for someone; can this run Cyberpunk at minimum medium settings (w/o raytracing)? This ensures that most things can run at best and also run as smooth as the budget allows. & future proofing - can the computer still run if a new part is needed? Outdated parts are cheaper but the newer replacement part may not be compatible with a motherboard or another part. Then you would have to buy a new motherboard to be compatible the newer part. And then it would be all of the parts that connect to the motherboard....which in that case it's basically a whole new computer lol. This computer will be your baby, expensive baby so I want to make sure it's well for the future. I hope this makes sense.
I typically advise to get computers on Black Friday sales. Everything is usually a lot cheaper. Some options: for reduced price the fans and hard drive storage can be reduced if you feel like it's too much. Don't be afraid to tell me "It's too much!" it is your money after all.
Last, I recommend getting a Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) this is basically a hunky battery that is plugged into an outlet. You plug your computer into it. In case of power outage/surge/brownout it takes the hit instead of your computer, saving literal $1000s of dollars.
