So it's been a while since I last built a PC for myself (it was an AMD Phenom 9600 years ago...), anyway, I ended up selling it some time ago, and I've been using an old Compaq 6300 since, with an Intel I3 3240, and 12gb of RAM. That computer is about to bite the dust, so I need to replace it.
Anyway, at work my work PC is an Intel i7 6700, 16gb Ram, 2tb storage space, with nvidia quadro video cards for dual monitors. I work as a C# / web developer. I typically have MS SQL Server Management Studio (connected to a SQL database) running, along with several instances of Visual Studio, and I may have some online videos playing in the background.
I've been working from home for 4 months, working from my personal computer. I need to build something that will allow me to basically do the work that I do, support dual monitors, and since I don't have my own dedicated SQL Server running at home, it needs to also be able to host SQL databases.
I was hoping to stretch my current PC out into Ryzen 4 was released, but my current PC isn't going to make it. I was thinking a build with either the Ryzen 5 3600 processor or Intel 10th gen i5 (which would you pick? Or do I need i7 level cpu?) 32gb of RAM, about 1tb of SSD storage, and a video card allowing multiple monitors. Do you think this would cover my needs?
I've been out of the video card game for a long time. 1 of my monitors has HDMI, Display Port, and VGA connections. the other monitor has DVI and VGA. I'd prefer to use my existing monitors, but am open to replacing 1 monitor if it helps make getting a video card easier. Any suggestions on a video card? I don't game, so I don't need any gaming oriented video cards.
