Budget PC build under $600 (non-gaming)

I messed up the thread location the first time, so I'm moving this over here.
Could an admin please delete the old one?

Initially, I was leaning toward a pre-built, but after doing some reading, building my own seems like the smarter move.

Basically, I need a machine for web browsing, streaming movies, and some light photo/video editing—nothing professional grade.
I don't have any interest in gaming.

My main priorities are fast loading speeds and keeping the system relatively quiet while it's running.
I want something decent enough that it won't just die on me within two years.

Budget-wise, I’m looking to stay under $1333, though ideally less.

I'm assuming I can keep my current case and that old optical drive?
I already have a monitor, mouse, keyboard, and all that.

So, yeah, could someone help me put together a build like this?

Since I'm pretty much clueless about these specs, could you also give me a brief rundown of why you chose certain parts? Just so I actually know what I'm paying for.

1 x Intel Core i5-7400 (KabyLake,3.0GHz, 6MB,LGA1151) box
1 x MSI H110M PRO-VD (S1151, DDR4, USB3.1, SATA III, DVI, VGA, Audio, LAN) mATX
1 x Crucial DRAM 8GB DDR4 2133 MT/s (PC4-17000) CL15 SR
1 x HDD Seagate Barracuda 1TB, 64MB, 7200rpm, High-Performance
1 x SSD disk Kingston 240GB, UV400 SATA 3
1 x Fortron Hexa+ 400W, 80+
1 x MS Helios 3 Case, black 1x12cm+1x8cm fan

Total: $1353

That’s from IT Future. This case is $60, so you can subtract that from the cost. You can likely keep your current setup—your GPU and hard drive should work fine if they use SATA (which is almost certainly the case). Normally, free assembly is only offered when buying a full build, but I’d suggest emailing them. I suspect shops like IT Future, Micro Center, or Best Buy might be willing to help you out for free if you ask nicely.

The processor is the most important part here; it features decent integrated graphics. Having 8GB of RAM is standard for your budget and intended use, as is the SSD (though smaller versions exist). Think of the SSD as a high-speed lane where you install Windows and your essential programs to keep everything snappy.

It’s from IT Future. This case is $60, so you can subtract that if you want. You can definitely keep your current setup, including the burner and the hard drive, provided they use SATA—which they almost certainly do. Usually, free assembly only applies when you buy the whole rig from them, but I'd suggest emailing them; I honestly think shops like IT Future, Micro Center, or Best Buy might be cool enough to throw in the assembly for free if you ask nicely.

The processor is the most important part here, and it actually has a decent integrated graphics chip. For your budget and what you need to do, 8GB of RAM is pretty much standard, and the same goes for the SSD (they have smaller ones too). Just remember, the SSD is that fast drive where you install Windows and all your main programs.

Thanks! Compared to what I’ve been using, this sounds... wow.
One thing though, is that power supply any good? Is 400W actually enough?
It feels a bit weak compared to the rest of the build.

That PSU won't even break a sweat under full load. You're good... there's plenty of headroom left if you decide to toss in another component later.👍

If you were running a dedicated GPU, then we'd have a conversation, but right now? 250-300W is your max draw, if that...

@William Richardson12

What are you even talking about? I don't think it'll even hit 100W under a full load. It could easily be higher, like a GTX 1060

The Kajika unit is a true 400W power supply, not some cheap knockoff where they just slap a 400W sticker on the box. My setup wouldn't even pull 100W under a full load.
