Check compatibility options for your Dell T3600. Consider upgrading to a compatible CPU model for better performance.
You're considering a Dell T3600 with 16GB RAM and an Xeon E5 1607 processor. The E5 2690 and E5 2687 are both good options, but which one suits you better depends on your specific needs. Let me know if you'd like a comparison!
You're thinking about how to approach this task. The best solutions might already exist, offering lower costs without needing a CPU upgrade.
For photo editing and such you are going the ENTIRELY wrong direction here. Photoshop (or others) are basically single threaded programs so you getting a big multi core cpu is going to just suck. Video editing yeah sure it will be better but since it's not a primary focus I don't see a reason to aim for it. Save youself some money and instead of buying a very old totally wrong for you computer get something else. What budget do you have?
