Hello all,
I have a Windows PC that I mainly use for playing videos (1080p & 4k) with MPC-HC and MadVR. It has a GTX1060 3GB GPU that I might upgrade in the future, but it is sufficient for my needs currently. The PC was last updated in 2012 and uses an Intel i5-3570 @ 3.4Ghz with 8GB DDR3 RAM on an HP motherboard, so it isn't Windows 11 compatible. I'm not looking for anything too powerful, as I don't game.
I was trying to keep the budget around £250-300, and from some initial research, it looks like the Ryzen 5600 or Intel i5 14400F the most suitable CPUs; I'll probably get 16GB of RAM for it as well.
Quite a few of the video apps I use on it are single-core, so I suppose I need to factor single-core performance into it.
However, I have no idea about motherboards these days, except that it needs 4 SATA ports, a PCIe x16 for the GPU, a PCIe x8 and a PCIe x4 for 2 other cards. I think the current one is a Micro-ATX. Any suggestions?
Any issues with running a NVidia GPU with an AMD board and CPU?
It doesn't need to be upgradeable, as it probably won’t get updated for at least 5 or more years, by which time it will probably all be old hat.
