Question 1st DIY Build - Comments on parts list appreciated

[Wolfcamp]

Need new computer because my current Win 10 pc (support ending next October) hardware is not compatible with Win 11. Decided to build my own.

I've researched how to build and have watched many videos. Below is my parts list. It seems to be ok when put into compatibility sites with one exception and I don't think it's that a big deal. The warning message from pcpartpicker is also below:

Note that this rig will not be used for gaming or other intensive tasks. It's probably a bit more robust than needed but I keep my desktops a long time and want one that keeps up with Windows bloatware updates and is easily hardware upgradeable.

CPU: Ryzen 7 5700g
MOBO: Gigabyte Elite AX v2
COOLING: Fan/heat sink that comes with the CPU
RAM: CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 3600MHz
PSU: EVGA 650 G5, 80 Plus Gold 650W, Fully Modular
SSD: WD_BLACK 1TB SN770 NVMe x 2
Graphics Card: None - CPU has onboard graphics
DVD Drive: (reuse) LG GH22NS50 Bulk DVD/CD Writer (SATA 3.0 Gb/s)
Case: Thermaltake Versa H21 SPCC ATX Mid Tower

Here's the only potential problem but I think it may not be a biggie even if this problem arises since the BIOS can be upgraded:

Then you should be looking at AM5 at least. It will give you at least 3 generations of CPU options of which currently there are 2 with the 7000/9000 series.

At a glance, your build specs look fine.

I agree that AM5 is a superior option for a long-term build. I doubt that OP necessarily needs to care about future socket upgradeability. However, CPUs have support windows and anything older than Ryzen 3000 did not get patched for the Sinkclose vulnerability. So if you build Ryzen 5000 today, you'll perhaps get a couple less years of official support from AMD if some future exploit arises and requires microcode patching.

I find this lame, because Ryzen 2000 is just over 6 years old. IMO companies the size of AMD or Intel* can afford to support their CPU for at least 8 years.

* Well maybe not Intel. 😛

I agree. If I were building a new PC with longevity in mind I would build on the newest platform I could.

A 7700 build would be enough unless you want a more powerful iGPU, then the 8700G would probably be the choice.
