Hi folks.
If you were to build a PC around a Ryzen5 CPU, what parts would you select?
Yeah, I'm asking a lot, but I'm overwhelmed. In the past, I have slapped together a few variations of a Windows (7) PC, the latest with an old duo-core CPU. (ancient it is). I'm a graphic designer working mostly in layout (InDesign), Web Dev, Photoshop and some Sketchup. I'm not a gamer and Sketchup is about the limit of my 3D needs. You get the picture, I don't need superfast but a good amount of memory might be useful.
I've heard good things about the Ryzen stuff but I would certainly be willing to buy a different processor like an Intel or other AMD if the cost benefit ratio is better now and will carry me for a few years.So, at this point, I'm asking if someone could make some specific suggestions for mobo/cpu combo that will fit in a mid sized box> Ideally, I want to retrofit or copy the content of a couple older hard drives (IDE I think) and I have an old video card (ATI FireGL V3600) although I bet some mobos have better integrated graphics than this card.
I want to try and do this for less than 500 bucks. Am I asking too much? Below are the parts I'll need.
As I said, I'm overwhelmed and not to technically savvy. Knowing my parameters and my meager $500 budget, could you quickly suggest some parts or a mobo combo that you like? Feel free to add some links or make fun of me.
Thank you so much!
Greg
