Hi,
I am selecting parts for a new PC. I will not be building the PC, but having the shop where I get all the components build it for me (easier to pay the $50 than have me ah heck it up). This will likely be D & D or Maco.
I would be thankful if the brains trust of the forum could rate my build. The primary use of this PC will be to house a large amount of music and movie files and streaming. I am a non-gaming, but want a high end performance PC that can handle large amounts of data, have a fast boot time and be somewhat future proof (though I realise that is somewhat of a debatable concept). I would like it to have the capability to do other tasks I may choose in the future (whether this be gaming, video editing etc)
I am particularly interested if I need additional case fans, whether my components are compatible and whether the on board GPU of the CPU and sound of the motherboard are sufficient for streaming and playback.
Budget is approx $2k (AUD)
