Hey All, looking for more detailed recommendation on a Custom PC build. Per Forum guidance see format below.
Approximate Purchase Date: This Summer - June 2023
Budget Range: Under $2000
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Photo editing, home video editing and compilations (no major 3d rendering). I mainly use Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, Premier - although once upgraded would explore other software
Are you buying a monitor: Not at moment
Parts to Upgrade: Entire Custom PC Build
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg or MicroCenter
Location: Northern New Jersey. I'm close to MICROCENTERs
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU
Overclocking: Unsure
SLI or Crossfire: uhh, don't think so since I don't know what this is...
Your Monitor Resolution: Ultimately will upgrade to 4k
Additional Comments: Prefer a quieter PC, I don't expect to use it for gaming. Would like sufficient storage fast SSD, also would like to see if have an option to have a hot swappable bay for external drives. Thought being is to backup photos/videos on older mechanical drives that are very reasonably priced. Using external drive reader or cables is messy and always issues. If I could have a hot swap bay that would be something. Thoughts?? I don't think from what i've researched i need the 13th Gen as from benchmarks minimal increase for my use (is that accurate?)
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Current PC old and needed upgrade Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 3401 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s), 16GB RAM
