Hi everyone!
I have an ancient build that has served me well for over 16 years since I built it in 2008:
CPU: E8400
Motherboard: Gigabyte EP35-DS3L
Memory: 4 GB DDR2
Video Card: 8800GT PCI-e
Hard Drive: 500MB SATA II
Case: Antec 900
I upgraded to theses components about 4 years ago to string it along:
CPU: Q9400(Overclocked to 3.3)
Memory: 8GB DDR2
Hard Drive: 500GB SSD
I have a 32" TV connected via a DVI-D to HDMI cable, as well as a 1080p 22" monitor via DVD-D.
I have recently gotten into photography. Thus, I will need a system for photo editing and storage. This system will also be used for streaming video, movies, and online events. It will not be used for gaming. It will be used for internet surfing and Microsoft applications too.
Basically, it will need to function for photo editing and streaming simultaneously. I am also looking to add/upgrade monitors/TV and possibly run up to three simultaneously.
Due to age, about the only useful components will be the 500gb SSD drive and possibly the case. Although, I might turn this old system into a server with Linux for cloud storage,
Looking for suggestions for a build to suffice for the above. Would like to spend around $500-$750 USD(if that is even possible) for the system components alone and not including monitor/TV upgrades. The less the better.
Wondering if something like this would suffice?
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X /5600G or Ryzen 7 5700X
Motherboard: AM4 B550
Memory: 32GB DDR4
Video Card: ????? (Need at least three outputs for system)
Hard Drives: one for dedicated system drive(500GB?)
2-4TB of drives for photo storage
Video Card: ?????
Case: ?????
Power Supply: Is 650W Gold + enough?
Monitor: What size and specs for photo editing
Thank you for suggestions!
