Additional Comments: Server will need ECC memory, I would like a monitor with high color accuracy, I will only be doing light video editing so maybe an i5 will work?
I also want recommendations on a new mechanical keyboard and mouse, They don't have to be included in the budget but if you can work them in that would be really awesome . I do want an aftermarket Liquid CPU cooler to keep the system quiet
I need a reliable file server to backup my design work and to stream media via plex, My gaming laptop is starting to show its age and I want a new desktop.
