home office build
Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2016 12:19 am
The old desktop (viewtopic.php?t=54639) finally died, plus I've been feeling the need for more speed & capacity lately. Hopefully this will last another seven years:
Parts to re-use:
ANTEC NSK3480 case and misc. fans
HITACHI Travelstar 5K500.B 500GB (additional storage)
Pioneer DVR-216DBK
Sparkle PC 700003 GeForce GT 640 2 GB 128-Bit Dragon Cyclone Graphics Card SX640S2048LKDI (for three monitors -- not a great card, but a stopgap)
New:
GIGABYTE GA-H170M-D3H
Intel Core i5-6500 6MB Skylake Quad-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 1151 65W
Noctua NH-D15S cooler (It doesn't look like I can re-use the old Thermalright HR-01)
SAMSUNG 950 PRO M.2 256GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V5P256BW (boot drive)
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB)
be quiet! STRAIGHT POWER 10 500W ATX 12V 80 Plus Gold
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64-bit - OEM
No gaming, but large documents, databases, OCR, graphics software and whatnot. This is a little more wattage than my previous builds.
All suggestions and critiques welcome!
