First time a hear that... Whats that about? any link to educate myself? Also to note that its not pro Photoshop work most of the pro work is on Autocad but photoshop for some pretty renders for the clients

Yea, I read the Bios thing, definitely need the store todo it as I don't have another AMD CPU, I can do it with Intel using mine but I have no access to anything AMD I do want the dual channel will see once i pull the trigger how to do it

Mostly CS6 but when needed I sub to adobe and use the CC for a month As for the list looks great if, I want to see if it is possible upping the budget for the 2060... otherwise will combine some components between these 2 builds to get an even cheaper one.

Wow this is what I was looking for but I thought a 330$ CPU is more expensive than 215$ one but you seem to have re-balanced everything so nicely, I thought RTX and 8Cores are way out of budget, will surely go for the RTX2060 and will see if I squeeze in the dual channel ram budget or go with 1 stick. Thank you so much for taking the time, 10$/20$ here and there surely makes a difference

So as the title suggests I am building a PC for architecture work and other things: 1- Autocad 2- Revit 3- Photoshop 4- 3Ds Max Bonus- Maybe some games since it might have an ok GPU for medium setting on 1080 or 720 So I went with ITX since space is an issue and having a 24" monitor I might be able to move the build with not much issue, a laptop would be a much more friendly option but specs vs price... If you can tell me a similarly priced laptop might have a good core count and ok GPU i could consider that Why I chose these specs: CPU: I went with an i5 but it has 6 cores with good clock speed and is just 215$ (I know Ryzen 3 is awesome but didn't find a comparable one unless I go to Ryzen 2) since I am also used to intel and their quirks GPU: For the GPU I felt a 1660TI give a good value for money with a 200$ unless my research is way off and a 1050TI is better or something, I know Autocad and 3Ds max uses GPU but if this is way overkill I may consider something else. RAM: Memory is not an issue especially that I can get 1 16GB stick run in single channel a while then upgrade later but for 80$ I'll just directly go to 32GB since getting 2x8GB I will have to discard both sticks to upgrade later on Case: Node202 was chosen since it has a fairly small footprint can hold all the above with low hassle and is quite acceptably priced. Cooler: I don't think I can ever go wrong with Noctua (Also I don't really like water like AIO since the machine will be moved from time to time to clear the dining room table so I guess air cooling requires less maintenance especially that I won't be using this machine personally) Everything is up for debate (I did mention I might go to laptop if logical)..... Here is the parts list https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Elkhose/saved/#view=KNTx6h (Background on my builds: Started my journey with a 286 yes you read right, Pentium 2, Pentium 4 GeForce 5600, Core2Duo upgraded GPU down the line to 9600GT, Core2Quad carried the GPU with me 9600GT. All Core builds were upgrades instead of full build and they were always 2years behind the market... Finally built a full PC after started working (current build): Corei7 7700k, Rog Z270, GTX1070 (bought a couple of month before the bitcoin price hike), case changed with time current: Cougar PANZER MAX... All Parts were bought with time and upgraded gradually except the last machine upgrade CPU/MOBO/RAM)
