Hi
My current system configuration (6 years old) is Pure Base 600 case, Gigabyte X570 Aorus elite(AM4), Ryzen 3700X, RAM 32GB DDR4, Radeon RX6600, Storage SSD (NVME /PCIe and SATA 2.5) and SuperFlower GOLD 650W.
I want a new build which is very responsive, gives increased throughput of 25%, and will last me for 4/5 years at least. My thoughts are that I should base it on AM5.
I am looking for a case, motherboard, processor and cooler, RAM and power supply. I intend to keep my monitor, keyboard, storage and GPU (all recent) for the time being.
Some input:
- Case: Mid-tower with good air circulation. Appearance is secondary, no requirement for LEDs etc
To hold up to 4 x 2.5 SSDs. At least 2 x 20GbS USB connections on the front.
- Processor: I’m assuming something like AMD 7700X ?
- RAM: 32GB initially, upgradeable to 64GB.
- Motherboard: 1 or 2 PCIe NVMe, 2-4 x 2.5 SSDs, 1 GPU, good (not outstanding) Audio, 4 USB 20GbS, 4-6USB 5-10GbS. Ideally supporting PCIe5 and USB4.
- Power Supply: I’m assuming 750W ?
My workload consists of photo management and editing (Photoshop, lightroom etc) with very large libraries, some virtual machine activity, frequent backups of large libraries to local storage, and the usual Office, mail, internet etc. Overclocking is not envisaged, minimal gaming.
Re budget: I don’t have unlimited funds but I would rather start with the desired configuration and trim back from there if necessary.
I would appreciate suggestions please ?
Thank you
