Need some help on parts selection. I have been using my laptop for editing pictures, while it works well I would like a bigger display. Have not built a desktop in over 15 years, so not current on what is available parts wise. I have my old ATX case with a 650 watt power supply in it that I was planning on using.
Along with photo editing I will be using it for Ernestinas Embroidery software. Other than Winhosed 10 the only things that will be installed in it will be 2 photo editing programs and the embroidery software.
Embroidery software requirements are....PC with Winhosed 7, 8 or 10. Intel 32 or 64 bit processor (or equivalent) 1ghz or higher. 4 gigs of RAM. 1024x768 resolution with 16 million colors.
One of the photo editing software requirements:
