High Performance Office Budget

Choosing this AMD processor is simple: it has integrated graphics. This Zen + architecture processor has 4 cores and 8 threads working at a base frequency of 3.7GHz and arrives in Boost mode at 4.2GHz. It also integrates an RX Vega 11 with 11 Compute Unis working at 1.4GHz.

A processor especially appreciated for those who are starting in the world of gaming and have a tight budget. In addition, this processor comes with a heatsink, so we will not have to spend extra on a heatsink. Everything for a high-performance office system.

Although this motherboard is designed for gaming, we have chosen it because it integrates heatsink in the VRM phases and has four slots for RAM memory. It also has an M.2 slot that we will occupy and it has HDMI, DVI and VGA video outputs. For the price it has, it offers very good benefits. In addition, it has four USB 2.0 and four USB 3.2 Gen1, which is very good.

One of the characteristics of the AMD Ryzen processors is that it depends a lot on the frequency of the RAM. The best frequency for these processors is 3200MHz, which is where they offer good performance. These Crucial modules offer these frequencies and full compatibility with AMD processors. In addition, they are characterized by offering CL16 latencies, which is usual for these frequencies.

To maximize system performance we have opted for a 2TB M.1 NVMe drive. The problem with this type of unit is that the performance tends to drop a lot when used continuously due to the temperature. Seeking that this does not happen we have opted for this unit with passive heatsink. This drive offers a read speed of up to 3450MB / s and a write speed of up to 3000MB / s, on the order of six times faster than SATA III drives. Thus we will obtain a high performance in the system for our office

Looking to adjust the price to the maximum, we have opted for a chassis that integrates a power supply. The processor and the rest of the components will consume 150W at most, being well below the 50% consumption threshold. We really liked that the front has a USB 3.0, something that has helped us choose this chassis. Little else to highlight, except that it has a system to install a padlock, something that can be interesting.

For a large workspace, we opted for a 27-inch monitor. This monitor with 1920 × 1080 resolution offers us a 16: 9 ratio and a 1000: 1 contrast. It integrates a blue light filter, being one of the points that has led us to choose it. It has AMD's FreeSync technology, but since we are not going to use it for games, it is not very relevant either.

One of the office keyboard and mouse combo manufacturers is Logitech. The company has years of experience and develops solutions of very good quality and reasonable price. We have opted in this case for a wireless option, something that can offer a lot of comfort. In addition, the keyboard allows a 4 degree or 8 degree tilt, to better adapt to the user's needs.

Many tend to work with music on, whenever possible. For these we have thought of adding headphones that offer a fairly complete solution. These Sony headphones offer us a frequency response that goes from 12Hz to 22KHz, more than the audible frequency range. In addition, they have an integrated microphone, in case we need to make a videoconference.
