Comment on What specs to look for in an Optiplex SFF/MFF pc?
drudoo@lemmy.world 1 year agoThank you. I’ll probably go for a 7th gen then, when I find one in a proper price range!

I’d also say that an i7 is likely overkill for your use case (despite other comments here).
I run an i5-7500 with PhotoPrism, Plex, tDarr, and about 30 other services. The power draw barely registers on my 1000W UPS. And my CPU rarely jumps above 20% utilization.

Yeah I was gonna aim for an i5 with 8-16GB ram. Seems like a 7500 or at least a 7th gen is what I should look for.

Definitely consider 16GB if you’re using Immich. I started with 8GB and had to upgrade. (on the bright side, 32GB DDR4 was just over $40)

Yup. Highy recommend 32GB if doing Immich. Especially when pairs with Nextcloud, Plex hw acceleration with iGPU and stuff
