Instead, I ended up grabbing a 3060—specifically that weirdly shaped, compact ASUS Phoenix—which has been an absolute win for me (not really going to get into why).
My only hesitation is whether that 500W power supply will actually cut it. I might be totally off base there, though. Still, the 2060 draws less power, and since you decided to go with an Intel i5 anyway, it might just work.
Also, I suspect a 1 TB HDD is going to feel incredibly cramped for video work. I went with a massive 12 TB drive, but I’d suggest aiming for at least 3 TB. They're pretty cheap these days. But hey, grab what you need now and just add more later.
Well, they say Intel and Adobe play a bit nicer together than the alternatives, so I figured I'd just stick with them... yeah, I'll go with the 3 TB HDD, upgrade to a Seasonic 650 w power supply, and definitely opt for the 3060 instead. 😉
