So my home PC, which I have for nearly 7 years now, is starting to fall apart (random crashes, not as fast as it used to be, etc.).
Today my graphic card stopped working altogether, and I decided its time to get a new one.
So help me build my next PC! I need opinions on which processor to take, graphic card, harddrive (I heard SSD is the shit but is it worthwhile for non-laptops?), case, etc.
Most of my work with the PC would be software development and hobby game dev, which include photoshop, 3ds max, Unity, unreal etc. I also like to play games here and there.but I'm not looking to buy a gaming monster. I relay on the next PC to hold for the next 6 years.
I want to invest between $1500 to $2000.
Help me out?

Yes, sdd's are the shit, but you should still have a large hdd for backups and storage space.

are you talking about one of those hybrids that are mostly non-SSD but got few GB SSD for OS and other optimizations?

No. Ignore those, they are trash. You have a nice budget consider the crucial mx300 or Samsung 850. The problem is a 1tb sdd is $250+, while a 5 tb hdd is about the same. Alot of people just get a 500gb or so ssd and also buy a 2tb or larger hdd for everything else.

thanks guys that's some good points for research.
about drive I just realized my current drive is pretty new I think like 2 years old ~600gb hdd, so I should by a 500gb SSD + this one and it should be enough (I don't download lots of movies / games so I'll be good with 1 TB).
Is there anything I should know about sound cards or just pick something random with decent price?

You don't really need one, imho. An external DAC is you are autistic, perhaps. Onboard sound is pretty decent these days.
