My PC is now over a decade old. Nothing is compatible with it these days. Even the RAM chips are worth a fortune, as nothing compatible is made now. Same goes for a more modern graphics card.
My existing big internal HDDs will all go into the new box, which has 6x SATA3 headers, as well as dedicated NVMe slots.
Something along these lines:
Seagate ST4000NE001 IronWolf Pro NAS HDD 3.5" 4TB SATA 7200RPM
(Replaces existing DEAD 3TB HDD)
Gigabyte Z690 AORUS PRO DDR4 LGA 1700 Motherboard
Intel BX8071512700 Core i7-12700 3.6GHz (4.9Ghz Turbo) LGA 1700 12 Cores 20 Threads Processor
Kingston KF432C16BBK2/32 32GB 3200MHz DDR4 CL16 DIMM (Kit of 2) FURY Beast Memory Kit Black
ASUS TUF-GTX1660TI-O6G-EVO-GAMING TUF Gaming GeForce GTX 1660 Ti EVO OC Edition 6GB GDDR6
Kingston SFYRS/1000G FURY Renegade 1000GB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD
Cooler Master MPX-7501-AMAAB-AU MasterWatt Semi-Modular 750W Power Supply
Cooler Master RC-593-KWN2 CASE CM 590 III C VENTANA
My preferred supplier will have to cast their eagle eyes over this to ensure that I haven't missed anything important, or incompatibilities.
I will get my preferred supplier to build this, then clone my existing boot SSD to the new NVME SSD. All the bending over is just too much for my back now. I will get the new HDD tomorrow and format it and start copying all my image files back onto it
While it's not the absolute top end of town, it should do everything I want it to do for the foreseeable future. Considering that I might not be here in "the foreseeable future", this should be more than good enough for my purposes.
I will transfer all my current HDDs (3TB, 2TB and 500GB) and the new 4TB HDD into the new case, and clone my existing W7 Pro 64 and programs onto the new NVMe SSD before upgrading it to W10 Pro 64. I intend to put my Bridge cache on the new NVMe SSD, as it has something like3,000 7,000 MB/s transfer/write speed, unlike my current SSD which is running at SATA2 speeds (3 Mb/s ... ). It is a SATA3 SSD.
Maybe this should be in a new thread (done ... ).
Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.
