4k Viewing/Streaming

[habibmerzabatli]

I like to build a computer for following works:

 

1-Photoshop and Lightroom photo editing,

2-Video streaming with 3840 x 2160 resolution on a 28" monitor.

3-NO GAMING AT ALL

 

Would an Intel CPU with integrated graphics easily do this job?

If so which one (which processor with which integrated graphics?)

How much of memory is required for those tasks?

 

Thanks

Wait Till Skylake

Intels igpus in skylake get a real boost.

i would get 16gb ram can add more later if need be

When you say streaming do you mean streaming 4K videos FROM the internet or would you like to stream 4K TO the internet?

4k videos FROM inernet and DVD

[othertomperson]

...if I'm understanding you correctly, you just want to watch 4K content on an iGPU? If so the requirements here are very low: you could probably use any Haswell Pentium.

 

It's the photo editing that is going to limit how much you can cheap out here, not watching videos.

16GB Ram and you should be good with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960

Yes, the iGPU should do fine, although intel drivers are not as good as nvidia or amd ones and you may get an odd crash every once in a while. Considering you want to do photo editing, I would recommend at least a core i5 4690k, or even better a 4790k. I say the k versions because it makes a lot of sense to overclock them and it's pretty much the only advantage they have over the (igpu-less) xeons at similar price points, but nothing stops you from getting the "vanilla" versions.

What is your budget?

[habibmerzabatli]

I will spend the require amount, I just need to know if a CPU with built-in GPU would do the photoshop editing and 4K viewing without having problems.
