Computer folks...

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:

• Intel® or AMD processor with 64-bit support*
• Microsoft Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (64-bit), Windows 8.1 (64-bit), or Windows 10 Version 1511 or later (64-bit)
• 4 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
• 1024 x 768 display
  
• 2 GB of available hard-disk space for program installation.
• Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, validation of subscriptions, and access to online services.†

Graphics processor acceleration requirements

• AMD: Radeon GPU with DirectX 12 or OpenGL 3.3 support.
• Intel: Skylake or newer GPU with DirectX 12 support.
• NVIDIA: GPU with DirectX 12 or OpenGL 3.3 support.
• OpenGL 3.3 and DirectX 10-capable video adapter for GPU-related functionality.
  
• 1 GB of Video RAM (VRAM). 2 GB of dedicated VRAM (4 GB recommended) for large, high-resolution monitors, such as 4K- and 5K-resolution monitors.

The other program, unfortunately, doesn't have a simple requirements page...sorry for the link.
Minimum Requirements and Recommended Hardware

Hoping that someone can decipher all this mumbo jumbo for me....and perhaps put some links up to what they would suggest I get for parts....Much appreciate it...

A 4t hard drive is a requirement.

That hardware is not that extreme. DirectX 12 is only Win10.
Geforce GTx640 is about where the DirectX12 started with a few exceptions in the 700's with most others higher than 640 supporting DX12
AMD Radeon, >8570 series as well as >Rx240 will be DX12 capable.
Most card manufacturers make both chipsets with varying amounts of onboard memory.

your power supply is fine although many cards use a 2nd power rail.
CPU's have peaked: i7, i5, i3, Opteron.
