New build suggestions!

1. CPU: i5 9400.
2. MSI : Z390 gaming plus.
3. Corsair Vengeance 16 GB 3200 Mhz Non RGB.
4. Samsung SSD 250 GB 2 NVME.
5. Seagate HDD 1 TB 64 MB cache.
6. PSU 400 watts.
7. Display AOC 27" 2K IPS .

You experts care to edit?......Thanks!

Hope its not a over kill foe W10 x64.

Regards!

hi are you not going to be putting in a graphics card? if you are then you definitely need a bigger power supply.

Thanks for the expert advice.
Firstly no graphic card, that's why I choose 9400 over 9400F.
I'm not into gaming, have none idea about hardware, just want custom built rig that would run W10 Pro 64 smoothly and last a while...
These specs were suggested by the local PC tech.
Yes, I want clarity for medical images..

Regards!

Hi , on second thought in you're expert opinion should I get a graphic card which probably the board supports...
Would it improve vs Intel built in graphics?
Which would you recommend, along with a bigger PSU?
That's less noisy and won't burn.. Some entry level one..
Any other suggestions/editing of the other hardware?

Thanks.

What do you plan on doing with this PC?

What do you plan on doing with this PC?

1. No gaming, besides that the usual stuff using W10 x64 MS OFF, surfing, medical imaging, occasionally watch a movie DVD/Blue ray.

2. Few people that I discussed the specs with, say it's a over kill. But PC tech says it's fine.....initially he recommended i5 9700K CPU.


My requirements are

1. A quiet, responsive machine that wouldn't hang or slow down, wont need tweaking and last a few years.

2. Like my Dell though quite old, still has none issues, but W10 x64 slows it down, drivers difficult to find etc. Need to customize/tweak quite a bit to make it run.

3. It runs W7 great, but the nvidia GTX 9590 has fried twice.........

Hope you know about my needs/requirements.

Care to recommend your expert thoughts what hardware should I get, IF its a overkill?

Thanks!

Now after knowing what I plan do to do and having read my mind what individual specs hardware would you recommend if you were in my place or wanted a custom built for yourself.

I'd appreciate that.

I can get a custom built in half the price, that might do the job...

But mine intention is to get something that's versatile, having options etc..

Thanks again!

I don't blame the tech, since is into building custom gaming rigs and one of his relations is a patient of mine..

Thanks.

So here's what I have for you doing some quick searching. The brands I have picked are all good and reputable. You only need 16 GB of RAM and a 500 GB SSD. If you are going to game or add a ton of data then get a 1 TB SSD or a 1/2 TB platter for spill over. No video card required since you aren't gaming. The CPU its self supports video onboard. The case should fit the cooler. I have the Evo 212 and it's been pretty decent. Others may have another opinion, but I bet what ever else is out there will only lower the temperature a few more degrees if that vs an Evo 212. Hardly worth the money to spend. Also, thermal grease is thermal grease. The fancy Arctic Silver stuff is just a few degrees difference then what the CPU cooler comes with. I used the stuff that came with my Evo 212 and my gaming temps are never over 80 F. I made sure the RAM was listed with the QVL (Qualified Vendor List) list for the motherboard. The case is really up to you, but I made sure the Evo 212 fits. You can add additional fans at the top. 3 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm.

You could go with the i5 9400 to save money. I'm just future proofing. It really is over kill.
