Anything basic will do for your need. Since Ryzen APU costs just a little more than Athlon/Pentium, you can go for that and also you have good enough budget.

Will 8th generation i3 be overkill for my needs?
Rather than external wifi USB, Do we get internal Wi fi card?

Yes,8th gen i3 is overkill for your needs.Internal wifi cards are costlier & messier(in the sense you need to install them in pcie slots after opening cabinet cover plus you can not simply plug & play them like usb).

Even 2200G is overkill. It's alright as you have budget. Couple of thousands more you can get i3, better CPU performance than 2200G but not as good wrt iGPU performance. But for your case, it doesn't matter.

Thx a lot.
I was thinking in terms of i3 as my home PC is i3 based assembled in 2010 and still doing excellent duty.
But since its an overkill, I will go ahead with 2200G. It will save some money also.

2010 i3 is now slower than latest pentium dual core(used to be available at 4.3k but now after intel price increase due to shortage,is costing 6.5k).

Go with the AMD Ryzen. I have one at home. Is a decent processor.

Also I feel it will be better for future because AMD tends to support their CPU sockets for long time in turn leading to availability of motherboard replacements for longer in the future too. I had an AM2 setup running for 10 years at home in which time I had to change 3 motherboards. AMD has promised to keep current pin for 4 years.

AM4 socket information Socket AM4 Platform | AMD

@whitestar_999 Sorry about that. I thought of it as a single post. Forgot that the second line was added shortly afterwards and was hoping it would auto-merge. (Is that functionality still there?)

-------------------

@joshiks7 Please consider adequate backups too. I suggest one onsite and one offsite password protected backups. And also store the password in physical form in a bank locker in case you happen to forget password. (Considering that it is patient data that is both precious and privacy risk)

No problem.:) There is actually a time limit(maybe within a minute or two of posting) within which any new post is automatically merged with previous post by same user provided nobody else posted in between.

You can do that. In that case I strongly advise getting another mechanical hard drive to keep in the same box and use Syncthing to keep a running backup in case of SSD failure.
