PC for a Photography Macbook user

[snorvalp]

Budget (including currency): 15-20 000kr, around $1500

Country: Sweden

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Photoshop, Premiere, Avid. I play GTA, Fifa and Red Dead on my ps5 not a big gamer, gamer but love me some Cities Skylines so would love to be able to play the new one in some capacity.

Other details:   I have a Samsung Viewfinity S5 34'' monitor that I use with my m1 Macbook Pro at the moment. 

 

I know I want the Fractal Design North case, but very open to any other components that would suit my needs. Being a Mac user for many years I like things to just look nice and clean, so I really don't want tons of RGB.

 

From my youtube research Nvidia sounds like the better option for creatives, but I'm open for anything!

I like the look of the ProArt series but I also know I will not look at the parts when I'm using them so I don't know if they're worth it, like do they have any benefits other than being nice to the eye?

 

Put together this on a Swedish equivalent to pcpartpicker, what do you guys think?

You can use se.pcpartpicker.com for local pricing and availability. Then post the permalink or a BB formatted build. This provides more details on parts like memory speed and timings.

 

The Pure Rock 2 CPU cooler is suboptimal for the CPU.

 

I would suggest a PSU that conforms to the new ATX 3.0 standard.

Oh thank you! Didn't know there was a local version, that's real good to know.

Picking the parts for me was mostly not taking the cheapest option and taking brands I've heard the names of before lol. 

 

You picked a less expensive version of the 4060 ti, is it not enough difference between the two not to spend the extra bit of money?

All these cards will perform the same. Its basically a requirement from nvidia's side.

 

I did some price optimizing so 0 perf loss and fit in a 4070 which is a MASSIVE performance boost over a 4060 ti

 

The 13600k and 14600k are the same cpu btw. Intel juat rebranded em.

The differences between GPU of the same model are mostly related to cooling and noise levels. Actual performance differences are relatively small.
