My first PC build in ten years, my current PC hardware is incompatible with the latest windows release. I’m aiming for quietness and reliability over power.
I’m quite excited to get my hands on some parts again. Let me know what you think! :D

Do you have a budget you’re trying to stick to?
If you’re trying to future-proof your system, the GPU is a poor choice because it’s already an awful value now and poor performer now, you’ll definitely be disappointed with it in the future.
The CPU is arguably one of the top current choices for price/performance, but by going with AM4, you’re locked into that platform. You won’t be able to upgrade in the future without also replacing your motherboard and RAM at the same time. If the goal of future-proofing is important, AM5 and DDR5 are the way to go, but will cost more as they are the current generation rather than the previous one.
If you really want to keep the budget down, you’ll probably get the same performance with the integrated graphics in a 5600G as you would with the 1630, at the cost of slightly lower CPU performance, but you’ll only have one device to cool, so you could upgrade to a larger/quieter heatsink instead.
Thanks for the advice
