    I received a retro PC case for free. I wan to use it to make a decent PC build before the end of the year. I'm interested in buying an Intel Core i9-10900KF Processor to make a decent video editing/gaming machine. I'm interested in learning how to use some adobe programs. What kind of power supply, motherboard and video card should I get? I don't want to get really expensive otherwise I might as well buy a pre-built system. Is 16GB of ram still enough?


    I don't care if it's an NVIDIA or AMD graphics card.
    Windows 11 Pro will be my OS.
    I'm not interested in 4K gaming. 1080p is fine for me.
    I mainly use emulators for gaming (dolphin, cemu...etc).
    I choose the i9 chip because I need the speed it provides and this i9 processor does not have an Intel GPU in it which is a plus (that and obviously I want an i9. LOL!).

    I found pics of the exact same case on eBay (can't post the link):

    i had a case similar to that one about 13 years ago running server 2000 then 2003 their real good plenty of space for fans and the HW is not all crunch up together with all that heat not dispersing because of the lack of space.
