All business

Build Description
I have a family member who runs a small business dealing with real estate listings and sales. He had previously been doing all his work on an aging Dell laptop, which had finally completely worn down it's battery. Consequently, it was time he replaced it and asked for my help. There were three main things in mind while building. (1) The desktop needed to be as budget friendly as possible. (2) The desktop needed to be as future-proof as possible regarding the business-related applications that will be run for his business going forward. (3) My family member wanted me to use a small, oddly-designed micro ATX chassis that he had already acquired. I decided that the best route to go is with a value-focused AMD cpu. The rest of the components were chosen to be both complimentary and very budget oriented.
Favorite Feature
My family member has been blown away by the difference in performance. I would speculate this is mainly due to the advantages of the 6 cores and 12 threads that cut through the photo editing and document processing applications that were previously being driven by a single or dual core cpu. The AMD Ryzen processors are really the best choice to get the performance of multiple cores on the tightest budget.
