Desktop build for full stack development (Angular & Java)

[albertkao]

Budget (including currency): flexible

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: full stack development (Angular & Java). No game.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

I am a full stack developer (Angular & Java).
I like at least dual 4k monitor setup.
What is the right desktop build?
How about these:
Ryzen 5800X CPU
ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus motherboard
AMD Radeon RX550 video card
32GB DDR4-3200 SDRAM
512GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD
2TB 7200RPM secondary hard drive

What to consider when reusing a very old PC case, fan or power supply?
 

Upgrading from:
AMD A8-6500 APU with Radeon HD Graphics

NVME drives are so cheap now, I see no reason to involve spinning disk unless you need some very high capacities. (8TB +)

If no gaming involved then switch out the 5800X3D which sucks at everything but gaming for a 5700X.

What the hell does flexible mean you have to be more specific then that

Not much for a case just that it might have low airflow have sharp corners and be a pain for cable management 

Fans you just need to worry about it wearing out

 

Power supplys tho... it really depends how do you mean really old... you might have to worry about the wattage not being enough the protections kicking in early and the capistors having a lower wattage 

Also don't really use a power supply much older then 10 years

Never give the internet a blank check. If youre not sure about what price range you should go, think of a reasonable price youd like to spend according to your financial condition. Generally, 1000$ minimum should give you a pretty good system with dedicated graphics that can run games or medium-heavy workstation applications. For your use case though id recommend using iGPU and going for Intel system, something like @brob build but id do a bit of things differently.

Yep, iGPU is enough for 2 4K 60Hz monitor nowadays.

"very old" mean much older than 10 years.
It seems only the case may be reusable but will be a pain.

Thank you all for your comments!

I will pick iGPU.
Is AMD better than Intel for my use case?
The pcpartpicker website has a "Buy From Amazon Canada" button, is that better than buying from individual vendors?

Either platform would serve. AMD has slightly better iGPU performance. 

 

Using the pcpartpicker button provides income to support the tool. Doing a direct search of the vendor may turn up different pricing.

Pc part picker Total: $886.98
$886.98 × 1.13 = $1002.29 which exceeds my budget very slightly.

[albertkao]

Is the Compatibility Notes a concern?
Note: The Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING WIFI II ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Thermaltake Toughpower GX2 600 W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply does not have any available. This connector is used to supply additional current. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands or extreme overclocking may require it.

Not a concern in this use case.

$49.99 seems good value.
