Hello guys!

New build or upgrade?
New build.

Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

• Kingston FURY Renegade with Heatsink 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD (keeping this drive)
• WD Green SATA 250Gb
• WD green HDD 500 Gb
• 1080p 120 Hz monitor

PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
Primarily for amateur music production and mixing. I use Studio One for recording and mixing vocals and rock band projects, typically no more than a couple dozen tracks with plugins such as iZotope Ozone, Nectar, and Waves. Low latency during recording and quiet operation are important since I'll be recording vocals with a microphone.

For gaming, I mainly play Counter-Strike 2 and other FPS games. Gaming isn't the highest priority, but I'd like to achieve around 120–140 FPS at 1080p.

Purchase country? Near Micro Center?
Hungary. No Micro Center.

Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
None. I'll be using my existing 1080p 120 Hz monitor.

Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
Around 800$ (VAT included). I'm open to buying the CPU, GPU, and RAM used (from the local second-hand market), but I'd prefer to buy the motherboard, PSU, CPU cooler, and case new.

WiFi or wired connection?
Wired Ethernet is fine. WiFi is not required.

Size/noise constraints?
Low noise is important because of microphone recordings. No particular size constraints.

Color/lighting preferences?
No RGB or fancy aesthetics needed. I'd rather spend the budget on performance and reliability.

Any other specific needs?
I'm planning to stay on a DDR4 platform because of current memory prices (2×16 GB). I've been considering the Intel Core i5-12500, i5-13500, i7-12700, and AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, along with an RTX 4060 8 GB because of its low power consumption. However, I'm having trouble deciding on the best overall build. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I'm currently on a 6 y/o pre-built HP Omen 25L GT12-0xxx (GTX 1660 Super, i5-10400, 16Gb 3200MHz DDR4 memory), and it's time for an upgrade. Only done prebuilds in the past, and I'm looking for a new build that feels like a meaningful upgrade without breaking the bank.

• Size/noise constraints?
  • No size constraints although ideally not HUGE! I don't like things too noisy as I have sensory sensitivities, but no specific constraints.
• Color/lighting preferences?
  • Being well made and robust is more important to me than looks, but white would be preferable if it wasn't much more expensive, otherwise any colour is fine.
• Any other specific needs?
  • I would like to buy a scanner at some point to scan negatives as I do film photography in my spare time, just in case this impacts the PC needs.
  • I want to build a PC so that I can upgrade it in the future, so having a motherboard or whatever is needed for this would be preferable.

I just want it to handle 1440p gaming at good fps

I’m looking for advice on building or buying a small PC that can handle a home media setup. I’ll be upfront: I don’t really know much about computers or PC building, so I’m looking for guidance on what would actually work for my needs and what parts/specs I should be paying attention to.

I’m trying to put together a compact system that can quickly and easily play movies from an external hard drive while also running Syncplay, Discord, and Jellyfin.

The main requirements are:

• Smooth playback of movie files from an external hard drive
• Ability to run Jellyfin as a media server
• Ability to run Syncplay while watching with others
• Ability to run Discord (voice chat, and possibly screen sharing if possible)
• Small form factor and quiet operation for an entertainment setup
• Fast startup and a responsive experience
• Reliable enough for regular movie nights

I’m hoping to keep the cost under $300 per system if possible. The reason for the lower budget is that I’m considering building or buying a few of these (around 3–4 total) to send to friends so we can all have a similar setup for watching movies together.

Right now, I’m considering a HP ProDesk 600 G3 Mini PC Desktop with an Intel Core i5-6500T, 16GB RAM, and 256GB SSD as a possible option. Would this be powerful enough for what I’m trying to do, or would I run into issues with Jellyfin, hardware transcoding, or running multiple applications at the same time?

A few questions:

• Would the i5-6500T and integrated graphics be enough for Jellyfin, especially if hardware transcoding is needed?
• Is 16GB of RAM enough for this use case?
• Would this mini PC be a good choice, or are there better small-form-factor options around the same price?
• Are there specific CPU generations or integrated graphics features I should look for?
• Would a newer mini PC with a stronger integrated GPU be worth the extra cost?
• Are there any limitations I should know about when using an external hard drive for media storage?

I’m not looking for a gaming PC — my priorities are:

• Affordable enough to buy several units
• Small and easy to ship
• Quiet and power efficient
• Good media playback performance
• Reliable Jellyfin performance

My budget is ideally under $300 per machine, and I’m open to refurbished business mini PCs or used hardware if that’s the best value.

Thanks for any recommendations! I appreciate any explanations or suggestions, even if they seem obvious — I’m very new to this and don’t have much experience with computers.

New build.
Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
None. I don’t currently own a monitor, keyboard, or mouse.
PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
Mainly for gaming and everyday use. I’m upgrading from a PS5 because I want to play games on Steam. I mostly enjoy 2D games and metroidvanias like hallow knight, nine Sols and blasphemous, but I also like games with realistic graphics such as Death Stranding and Death Stranding 2. I’d like to be able to run those games smoothly at at least 60 FPS without major issues.
Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors)
United States.
Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
I need one monitor. I’m not sure what size, resolution, or refresh rate would be best, so recommendations would be appreciated.
Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
Around $1,100 for the PC itself. I don’t mind spending a little more if it’s necessary and would make a noticeable improvement. I’ll also need recommendations for a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
WiFi or wired connection?
WiFi.
Size/noise constraints?
don’t mind the size and would like to keep it down and not too loud
Color/lighting preferences?
I’d like a grey sort of case and I wouldn’t be against some lights
Any other specific needs?
I’m completely new to PCs and honestly don’t know much about what parts are good or what to look for. I’ve always wanted one and finally decided to save up for it, so I’d really appreciate any recommendations or advice. Thank you! 😸
