The last build I did was many years ago - it's based on an i7-3770 with 16GB of memory. At the time, it was a pretty powerful Lightroom/Photoshop build.
Looking to upgrade that for continued Lightroom/Photoshop use and also get something that can edit GoPro video at 4k. The current machine can do this but it is very balky and I have to use low-res proxies in the workflow.

Needs/Not Needs:
- Need a quiet machine. Computer sits in our family room and is on all the time. Currently use an Antec case and have been happy with it
- Need space for lots of drives. Current machine has 7 internal drives - 2 2.5" SSDs (boot drive and Lightroom Catalog/Previews) and 5 3.5" drives. Plan is to move the SSDs to NVME but keep the other internal drives
- Don't want any RGB or other bling
- Won't overclock
- Not a gaming machine
- Don't need the fastest/latest but something that will have legs for the next 5 years
- Would like to be about $1750
