Summary
Using ChatGPT to build an AI-suggested PC within a $800 budget came with a few surprises, with the most important being the strategic selection of parts and thoughtful considerations about physical and technical compatibilities, as well as future-proofing.
The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 CPU offered enough power for photo editing without overspending, and the NVIDIA RTX 2070 GPU was an exception to the budget since the build was for a wife who preferred a certain aesthetic.
Other compatible parts included a TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR4-3600 32GB RAM (2x16GB) for a healthy amount of memory, a Crucial P3 500GB PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSD for the OS, and a 4TB WD Blue drive for storage.
The build’s case and fan arrangements were also strategically chosen to handle the components while providing a clean, modern look.
The actual performance was surprisingly quick and quiet, with faster load times, speedy exports, and the FPS in gaming worlds.
