Build For Photoshop

[Yatys 93]

I have been asked to price up a list for a friend of mine, mainly for photoshop with a little bit of 4k video editing off of their Mavic drone, no gaming nothing like that, just a work machine, list includes a 4k monitor and a keyboard and mouse, they have been chosen by the person paying so can't change that, and the case was picked as they don't want a window and would like a DVD writer so that was one of the cheaper ones I found that ticks both of those boxes.

 

Any ideas on improvements are welcomed

Budget?

You'll want to tell your mate that going with a TN panel for image editing is.. stupid, to say the least. He should definitely go for an IPS panel.

Or i5-10400 and a Z490-A Pro or Prime Z490-P. Adobe tends to prefer Intel but there are no recent tests directly comparing Comet Lake i5s and the 3600, so I'm not going to say that that combination would be downright better.

 

Or, if he's set on going for a 4K monitor:
