Looking for a non gaming pc

[gmuchesko1]

Hey, I do playback alot of security camera video and need some advice for a new desktop. My son suggested for the CPU Rysen 3 1300x and I just read the Tomahawk for the mb is a good pick.Vulcan 16gb ddr4 2400 memory, WD Green 240gb m.2-2280 ss hdd, GEforce GT 1030 2GB Video card,Consair VS 550W power supply. Am I on the right track here,any advice would be appreciated.

You could skip the Ryzen 1300x and GT 1030 and get the Ryzen 2400G with a B450 motherboard, hell even a RYzen 2200G would probably be enough. I also don't think you need 16GB of RAM for video playback, 8GB would be more then enough.

i'd add, if it's for video recording (as in camera's) and reviewing the footage, then getting a normal HD 1tb, would be much better than the SSD. The SSD is really a fast boot drive, and for the most part, builders would have the OS on the SSD (with some space to spare) and use a traditional 1tb HD 7200rpm for storage.

A SSD is nice for faster load times in gaming, and a snappier OS, but not much else. The standard HD would serve much better. You could prob get a 2tb unit for the same price as an SSD/
