Absolutely everything I have is out of date and I regret most of my last small changes (~2 years ago) to downsize according to my needs because apparently that was stupid. I don't like working with only a SSD and externals, CPU not powerful enough, blah blah.
I have an RTX 2070 sitting around still in the box since last xmas because I'm not wasting it on my current setup. I think I'd like to build a new rig for around $700 or so which I think should be possible given that I already have the expensive card.
The PC right now is used like 80% as a plex streaming machine (won't stream 4k no matter what..I think plex pushes everything through the CPU despite that being stupid?) and like 20% macroing stupid games in emulator. The need for an upgrade is pretty much 100% driven by plex being poorly optimized.
I'm probably going to go back to at least 1TB internal HD and keep my OS on my SSD.
Needs:
1) enough CPU power to overcome plex being shitty
2) built in wifi / bluetooth (is this a thing now?)
3) good options for 1-2TB internal HD
4) new case since my current one is shitty and 11 years old
5) probably new PSU
6) probably new mobo
I think I have like 8gb of DDR4 in current build so I'd probably like to double that at least too I guess.
Any suggestions?
Edit: These were my most recent upgrades that I'm really not very happy with
