Hi,
I have the following components and I am looking to setup a small form factor PC by reusing the components as much as possible. Could you suggest me a setup?
Components I currently have:
1 x Samsung 850 EVO - 500GB - M.2
1 x Samsung 850 EVO 1TB 2.5-Inch
2 x 8GB DDR4 2133 MHz SO-DIMM 260 pin
2 x 8GB DDR3 1600 MT/S SO-DIMM 204-Pin
My current option is to get NUC7i5 for $299. By this I will essentially get a decent mini-PC for $299 (including tax). Just wanted to find if you can think of a better Mini ITX setup that I can build and reuse my components that would cost in the $300 - $350 ballpark that would offer me better performance for the money. This is for use as home PC. Other than basic browsing and stuff, I will be occasionally running Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom. I might occasionally use it as a media streaming device to 4K TV in the future. Please suggest me if NUC should be the way to go or a Mini ITX setup.
Also, if reusing those RAM modules are going to result in considerable performance hit then I wouldn't do so.
Thanks in advance..
