5 year old Dual PC looking to upgrade but physically downsize.
It’s been 5 years and we are planning to move. And everytime I think of moving, I just remember how heavy this thing is and how tired of up keeping a watercooled system. It has served me very well, but I have found that with streaming tech improving, that the second PC within the case is used barely at all. The second PC hasn’t even been turned on in 2 years.
The main PC is used daily and uses range for the typical Adobe suites for my professional graphic design and multimedia work (2D animation and video editing) with occasional AAA game play. But I’m looking to upgrade and possible downsize to a ITX build.
At minimum I will want to get a new case, reuse the secondary PC’s ITX motherboard, keep the mains CPU with AIO, and just upgrade the RAM and GPU. What would be everyone’s suggestion on the upgrade in a ITX format? What GPU would be an upgrade from the current?
Current Main ATX PC: CPU: 9900K GPU: 2080 Super RAM: GSKILL Trident 64 GB 3600mt/s
Second PC: CPU: 9700k GPU: 2080 Super RAM: GSKILL Trident 32 GB 3600mt/s
