I would greatly appreciate any advice on the following spec for a new PC.
In addition to routine tasks, the PC's main role will be editing and processing photographic images (with Capture One, Lightroom, and other image processing software)
The spec is intended to achieve Speed of processing + Quietness + Substantial storage.
Here are the details:
Corsair Carbide Series 275Q case (provides good internal airflow)
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6 core
Motherboard - ASUS TUF X570-Plus (includes USB 3.2 and PCI-e 4.0)
RAM - 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3600 Mhz
GPU - 4GB NVidia GeForce GTX 1650 Super ( with HDMI and Display Port)
Primary Drive - 500 GB Seagate Firecuda 520 Gen 4 PCIe NVMe ( M,2 SSD socket on motherboard)
Secondary Drive - 2TB Seagate Barracuda SATA III HDD, 7200 rpm, 256 Mb cache
Tertiary Drive - 2TB Seagate Barracuda HDD (as above)
PSU - Corsair 650W TXm Series, semi-modular 80 Plus Gold, Ultra Quiet
CPU Cooling - Corsair H80i V2 Hydro Series
Sound - Onboard 6 Channel (5.1) High Def Audio
Wi Fi - Wireless Intel Wi Fi 6 AX200, 5GHz (2400 Mbps)/ 2.4GHz (3000 Mbps), PCI-E Card
Recovery - Unlimited downloads of Windows 10 Recovery Image
The price quoted is £1259.00
The case is a quieter version of the Corsair 275 range.
The PSU is a semi-modular version to exclude redundant cabling. It's rated at almost double the power needed - to ensure it runs quietly under load.
Water cooling to the CPU has been chosen, to keep the CPU running cooler than with a static cooler.
