Photo shop pc

[KMKSKYELAR]

Budget (including currency): 500-1000 USD

Country: United states of America

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Photo shop.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

I am in the need of a pc that will run photo shop and school work. Any help would be appriceated. I will need the full PC with keyboard and mouse. Or a Laptop

Photoshop pretty dependently runs on CPU without too too much GPU acceleration. Going to be heavy CPU side. 

 

Will you need a monitor as well? That's going to jack the price up if you need a color accurate monitor. 

[KMKSKYELAR]

yes I'll need a monitor. Its for school and I was told an i7 would be fine for the cpu.

Far overkill. A cheap ryzen 3100 would be plenty with 16gb of ram and whatever cheap gpu there is that is decent.

Honestly, Intel is going to be the play here. Adobe suite STILL doesn't scale to multiple cores so clock speed is going to matter a ton more. 

[KMKSKYELAR]

so intell i7-9700k and a 2060 super? 500gb ssd 2 tb hhd

a 3600 is about 30-50 more, and kills a 3100

This would be my list

Combine a color accurate 4k monitor like a Dell Ultrasharp.

No. No no no. nononononono. a 9700k is 340, a ryzen 5 3600 is 150-170 depending on when you get it. a 2060 is way overkill for photoshop.

To get the price down even more you could just buy an old GPU off craigslist or Facebook market place and throw it in there. It would work just as well.

isnt a 3600 still faster than some intel chips though?

Or you could ditch the aftermarket cooler and go for a B460/H470 board if upgradability isn't a necessity, and save some cash there. And you could also drop the GPU to a 1030, GPU acceleration really isn't that big of a deal when it comes to Photoshop.

For applications that scale to multiple cores and threads? Yeah, absolutely. I have no idea what the "puget systems benchmark" is or what it's testing.

r5 3600 beats 10600k on photoshop, and costs 200 less
