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!

Check two TechPowerUp listings, look at each CPU in both, and see which one offers more cores and faster speeds. I think the 2690 is a solid choice—I use two of them and think another model could work too.

You're thinking about how to approach this task. The best solutions might already exist, offering lower costs without needing a CPU upgrade.

Just handling school assignments and photo editing. Maybe a bit of video editing too, but I won’t focus much on it.

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?
