Question Is this build fast for office applications and web browsing?

[ogilusp]

I want to create a build that is lightning fast for simple tasks like web browsing and Microsoft Office. What it does NOT need to be able to do is any kind of gaming, video editing and so on.

This is the configuration I had in mind:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3200 MHz (2 x 8 GB) - Crucial DIMM
GPU: Onboard
Mainboard: Biostar B550MH
M.2 SSD: 1 TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 - WD BLACK SN770 NVMe SSD (read: 5150 MB/s | write: 4900 MB/s)

This along with a 350W power supply unit and a CPU-fan for 95W TDP

Is this build good? What could be a likely bottleneck here (GPU doesn't matter)?

You've got the right idea, I think.
Plenty of RAM, fast storage, and a decently-fast GPU, even if not really suitable for gaming.

I would personally up the Ram to 32GB.

Better to get 500W.

32GB RAM is good for Office applications, especially Excel. It likes RAM with huge sheets.

My office work PC is Sandy Bridge Core i5 with 16GB RAM. I keep a 1GB RAMDRIVE on it and usually my Excel files reside on that while I'm working on them. Helps a lot with saving huge files as they finish saving much faster. When I'm done, I move the Excel file to SSD.

You can create a RAMDRIVE with imdisk: https://sourceforge.net/projects/imdisk-toolkit/
