Build Last Week Components but Silent

[b^43]

Hi,

I am in need of a PC upgrade. Currently running an old DELL T3610 Workstation:
- Quad Core Intel Xeon E5-1620 v2
- 16 GB Ram
- MSI Armor OC RX 570 4GB

The good lady is becoming old and in need of replacement.
What do I need to do with it:
browsing, gaming older titles, light image editing and mostly web application programming in C# Net Core, SQL etc ..).

Here comes the wired part:
The new build is not meant for my heavy programming work as I do have a remote machine in the Horizon Cloud with all the power and RAM + I have a company laptop. So basically I just need to replace the old lady for personal tasks and some gaming of older titles ( just for casual relaxing ).
But if course, I do also some programming in my private rig.

The new system I want to build, has to be:
- Very quite / Silent
- Gaming 1080 ( perhaps 1440 ) ( Medium to high ) for older AAA titles ( my most up to date title is Doom 2016 on Steam )
- Best value for the buck build (for CPU and Motherboard)
- Linux OS
- Expected Lifespan min 4 years

My current choice:

$100 Motherboard : MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX
$85 Mem: 16 GB Corsair Vengeance LPX ( @ 3000 MHz stock )
$145 CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600
$85 HDD: SSD M2 Samsung EVO 500GB
$380 GPU: Radeon Saphire 5600XT ( 6 GB ) | Very quite , even under full load. pairs well with a Ryzen 5 series
$175 Case: Be Quite 802 Black ( No window version ) | Very quite case, will be used in future system upgrade to come in around 4 years
$100 PSU: Be quite Pure Power 700W CM | PSU is overkill for the system, PSU will hardly exceed 50% Load, therefore again very quite ( < 12 dBa )
$55 CPU Cooler: Be Quiet Dark Rock 4 | Again overkill for the CPU, but again very quite operation even under full load, overclocking capable
$1000 Monitor: 38'' Ultra Wide WHQD

Budget is not really an issues but I set a target around $900 without GPU and monitor ( You got to have targets )
I believe the system choice will be very quiet and should easily get me 4 years of happy operation.

Here is the catch:
Going B550 will cost about 50 to 75 bucks more | PLus: Only makes sense with a Ryzen 3000 series
Going R5 3600 will cost about 100 bucks more | The R5 3600 is only 15% more powerful than his 2600 brother.
Going R7 2700x will cost about 80 bucks more | The R7 2700x is also around 10% more powerful, but more cores
Going X570 will cost about 100 bucks more | Only makes sense with a Ryzen 3000 series

So what do you think of this build? Wired or is the a logic to my madness going for an "older" CPU and "older" Motherboard ?

Thanks in advance

I like what you've put together so far. B550 will of course also allow you to upgrade to upcoming cpu generations. It already supports ryzen 5xxx series and will most likely support more following gens than the b450.

I would stay away from x570, which you really don't need with your other components. The R5 3600 then again has some improved single core performance which is noticeable both in games and apps, that's the one upgrade I would opt for, but it's up to you

Rest of the build looks great, I see no issues!
