[SOLVED] Request advice regarding 2 PCs specifications - adjusting the components and preventing bottlenecks

[Stori]

Hi everybody,

• I'm asking for your opinion and advice regarding the two computer specifications listed here, especially in relation to adjusting the hardware components and preventing bottlenecks.
• One computer is more standard and the other more powerful, the emphasis here is on reliable computers with a minimum of malfunctions and durability for a period of at least 5 years.

PC 1: Designed for browsing, easy graphic editing and storing its products
CPU: intel - i5 10500
CPU COOLER: Arctic Freezer 7X CO
MOBO: MSI B560M PRO VDH
GPU: ASUS GT 1030 Low Profile 2GB GDDR5
SSD: Samsung 970 EVO PLUS 250GB NVMe M.2
STORAGE: WD Blue 2TB 256 MB 7200RPM SATA III
RAM: Kingstone Fury Beast DDR4 2666Mhz 2x4GB
PSU: Antec NEO ECO GOLD Zen 500W
BOX: Corsair SPEC-05 Window Mid Tower

PC 2: Designed for graphic editing and easy gaming
CPU: intel - i7 10700k
CPU COOLER: Noctua NH-D15 OR Scythe Fuma 2
MOBO: Gigabyte Z490 AORUS ELITE AC OR GIGABYTE Z490 AORUS Xtreme
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super 4GB
SSD: Samsung 970 EVO PLUS 500GB NVMe M.2
STORAGE: WD Blue 4TB 256 MB 7200RPM SATA III
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Neo RGB 2x8GB DDR4 3800Mhz
PSU: Corsair 650W 80+ GOLD RM650X
BOX: Corsair SPEC-05 Window Mid Tower

Thanks for your help

I would expect both to hold up for at least five years. The second has better odds with higher component quality. But even junk usually holds up for five years. So, I'd say the odds of any significant failure is low for either.

I don't think either one is more prone to failure than the other.
This comes down to what do you want to do with the machine.

thanks, and what about bottlenecks or mismatch between parts in each of the specifications?

The second one should be a good match. Although you might want an RM750x. For a bit more headroom for overclocking.

As for the first one. It depends on the uses. For general usage. It's fine. But for GPU intensive tasks. Such as gaming. There's definitely a mismatch between the GPU and CPU.

Personally, I'd double the RAM on each build. As they're a little light.

PC1 is for my mom - mainly use for browsing and pictures editing.
PC2 is for my home - mainly use for browsing, Ps CS6, "light" gaming and some cad drawing.

thanks again :~)

Should work fine.
Get the proper bios and drivers.....enjoy.

What kind of gaming does your mom do? If her usage is anything like my mom's, a discrete GPU may not be necessary (my mom does have a GTX 1070, but that's only because I always have a lot of parts just hanging around).

The one for gaming is not for my mom, it's for my home. Her old pc was built, 9 years ago, with i3 2120 3.3Ghz and no gpu. This time, after all those years, i thought it will be better to add a gpu to the list.
