Question suggestion for a build

[msd1992]

hey guys
im intended to buy a mini case and as im on low budget i decided to go for HP elitedesk g5 800
i5-9500
ssd m2-256
ram 8
it,s a product of 2019
does it worth as a low profile build with 185$? is it descent build?

What are you planning to use it for? 8GB of RAM is pretty limiting.

Once in a while, you'll see an insane deal for a cheap mini PC. If your budget is $200, that could make sense as opposed to buying a 2019 HP SFF.

IF there's an empty DIMM slot, then you could add 8GB DDR4 for very little.

With 182$ i cant buy anything better than a 2019 product of i5 with 8/256
And btw i bought a 24 inch aoc monitor with 61$
Accumulative od 243$

If you're happy with it, that's fine.

Modern web pages use a lot of RAM, so if you can get 16GB for cheap, it's a good idea.

To clarify do you mean the "Desktop Mini PC" (DM) or the Small Form Factor (SFF)? The Desktop Mini is very small, cannot fit any graphics card upgrade other than ONE proprietary AMD graphics part from HP (which are difficult to find, not worth the high price for it, and not all of the motherboard variants used for the Desktop Mini will support it). So you will be stuck with the Intel graphics, which isn't too good for many 3D rendering/games.

The Small Form Factor (SFF) version is not large like a tower, has far better upgrade potential and shouldn't cost any more than Desktop Mini PC. e.g. this is example for the Small Form Factor available from Ebay, not to promote any particular seller just using this as an example:

HP EliteDesk 800 G5 SFF Desktop PC i5-9500 3.0GHz 16GB 500GB SSD WIN11 - $175.00

Yes i like it
But my last build which i sol last year was i7-10700 and i had 16gb of ram
I think 16gb should be for strong builds
Maybe im wrong bro btw.
I preffered to put 8 because the system needs this level .
And i put a ssd m2 of samsung to have a good speed
