I value your informed opinion in this question as I have limited experience. I have an older HP Pavilion p6-2220t that I could refurbish/rebuild or perhaps I'm wasting money and should start from scratch. My thought is that if the processor, mobo, case and psu are adequate, I could max the memory, add a graphics card and an SSD and maybe get a budget solution - probably upgrade the CPU - board supports i3-2130. Here are my particulars. Tell me if it is a fools errand. Maybe I should just keep the
case and the PSU and scrap the rest. Your input greatly appreciated!!
1. Desired outcome: a dedicated box to do photo processing with Lightroom and Photoshop. I have a NAS with plenty of nearline storage.
2. Here are the specs of the HP
Mobo: Foxconn: H-Cupertino3-H61-uA TX
Form Factor: uATX: 9.6x8.7 inches
Chipset: Intel H61
Frontside bus speed: 5 GT/s
Dual channel memory architecture supports 2 240-pin DDR3 DIMM sockets
Non ECC memory only, unbuffered
1,2 and 4 GB DIMMS
Slots:
1 PCI Express x16
1 PCI Express x1
1 PCI Express mini card x1
300 watt PSU
Pentium G630 Sandy Bridge 65w 2.7 Ghz
Will support GE GForce GT630 2 GB
