Not into gaming either, and I would be wary of anyone selling "keys..,By the grace of God I built my last two computers, the older one runs Linux Mint, and this one runs Microsoft Windows 11 Pro Retail (cost now $140) which is a result of free upgrades flowing from a W.8 upgrade disk at $28 (with rebate) on the Retail channel, which means it can be removed from one PC and legally installed/activated on another. However, if MS persists on its current trend against 3rd part customization its days may be numbered.
. Go to https://pcpartpicker.com and look for Ryzen 5400G which (G) stands for good integrated graphics. Np need for a card. Add compatible parts, which it will show you. For instance, even with then you have a very capable PC for about $650. But you could reduce that.

Your power supply wattage seems a little low- not sure about ryzen processors, maybe they are more efficient than Intel?
The storage also a bit low, but if you don’t do a lot of saving, backups etc, then it is enough I suppose (can’t believe I’m even saying this as in the early 2000’s me and a friend were discussing how much storage we would need, and couldn’t even imagine back then 10 gb of storage let alone a tb or more. 500gb back then would have sounded like way overkill, but now it is on the low end if you do lots of backups, photo work (photos are large files these days), photoshop work, have a collection of games etc.)
500 would be enough if you put os on it and used another nvme for storage, you’d likely never run. Out then (famous last words lol)
I dual boot, so need a larger c drive to get both on, and updated, and all my programs on and photo files etc. I opted for 2tb, probsbly too much, but it’s there incase it is needed in the future.
