Hi all
My trusty i7 3770 PC that I built nearly 8 years ago (and have gradually modified since) is getting a bit twitchy, so I think it's time to give it an overhaul.
There's a few items I don't want (or have no desire) to change, which are:
Media PC Case - Link to Amazon (sorry it's an old case) - keeping this is a must since it's a perfect fit for my AV setup.
Pioneer BluRay Writer
2nd HDD - 8TB
OLED TV (used as monitor)
Microsoft wireless USB Keyboard/mouse
Attached is the spec I'm thinking to add.
Not sure what cooling to go for, so any suggestions welcome.
Anything else I've missed? Cables etc?
I am not that familiar with current tech, but have started my research and this is what I have come up with so far.
Main use is video editing and compression, plus I plan to do more photo work in the coming months.
It also gets used as a basic web browser, excel sheets etc, but nothing too taxing on that front.
May be tempted by the odd game, but likely to be old titles (most "recent" would be GTA V or Sims 4) and I am guessing the onboard graphics would do reasonably well with those? Currently running a Geforce 750ti low profile, but if I can get away with integrated graphics then I'm happy to do so. I can always add dedicated graphics later on if I need it.
Many thanks in advance for any advice.
