Hey everyone! I'm looking to put together a PC for just some basic everyday stuff—nothing heavy like gaming, so I'm totally fine with integrated graphics. My main priority is that it stays super quiet and comes paired with a decent-sized monitor (around 24 inches) plus some peripherals. Thanks so much in advance for any suggestions you might have!

AMD Ryzen 3 4C/4T 3200G (4.0GHz,6MB,65W,AM4) box, RX Vega 8 Graphics, with Wraith Stealth
EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Power Supply
Patriot Viper4, 3000Mhz, 16GB (2x8GB), CL16
Corsair Spec-05 Mid-Tower Case, Black

If you're obsessed with keeping things quiet, just throw in a high-end fridge

I really dig that you included plenty of RAM, a decent sized SSD, and a nice big monitor! Quick question though—is this motherboard actually okay if I want to upgrade later? Like, say I decide to throw in a dedicated graphics card down the road?

Yeah. Everything's set for an upgrade, whether it's the CPU or a GPU later on.
