Browsing, email, streaming, basic MS Office (Word, Excel), downloading large files, watching videos, listening to music, meetings and such. System that I built in 2016 is:
i7-4790K,
Z97 Extreme6 mobo,
EVGA GTX 950 graphics,
32gb DDR3 memory,
Thermaltake F31 Suppressor case,
6 or 7 HDD/SSD’s,
Seasonic 650w PSU,
TP-LINK router,
Dell 24” 16x10 IPS monitor, connection is Spectrum cable.
No overclocking or gaming.
Win 10 Pro.
As can be seen, it was overbuilt w/o overdoing the expense, the idea being to be able to work efficiently and to last without needing change for as long as possible. Still is my approach. Only considering change now, if necessary, due to as yet undetermined inability to power up (mobo, case, PSU?). Want to be ready to get on with it if it’s the mobo (or maybe the case). Would stick with Intel CPU and for now with the graphics card, monitor and PSU if ok. Would be looking to build around a current generation i5 or i7 and ATX board. Thanks,
