Ok, this is not a gaming machine - I don't do games :-) This system's main job is image processing (astro images), video rendering, and general multi-tasking stuff like 24/7 YouTube streaming and everything else you use a computer for. The MB on my old Win7 Intel system died and I figured it was time to pony up for a new system. I'll mainly just be keeping the drives from that (3 x Samsung 2.5 SSDs and 5 mechanical drives - but the latter may not all go in this new build). I have a 1080 in the old machine but I guess that will be redundant now. The old system used a SuperFlower 1000w PSU and I'm wondering if the Seasonic 850w in the new will be enough? Memory could be increased I guess but that can be added later.

my tag line is waay out of date lol
 
lol, ok thanks for that :) Got to be a better system than the RaspPi 4GB I'm having to use right now - although Win10 might be a step down..
 
Hey thanks for the reply :) I did look at that Gigabyte board but the VRM was actually seen as a weak point on the reviews I saw - the cooling IIRC? Anyway, I don't need WiFi, but the extra M.2 slot and extra 16-bit slot could be an advantage. I'll review the memory selection though. I'm currently waiting on delivery of new BIOS chips for the old system board (they will need soldering in..), if successful I'll keep running the old rig as a server. Anyway, appreciate your time to post a reply!
