Photoshop PC

[aPinata]

Hey guys so I recently sold my pc and want to build a new one I have gotten into photoshop and video editing. I currently have a budget of like $1500-2000 In Los Angeles, California. Would like to be able to play games too.

Added a Motherboard with Thunderbolt, put the HDDs in Raid 1 and have the possibility to do a hackintosh on this if you ever wanted to, since it´s all compatible components! You could easily downgrade PSU and CPU cooler in this config without any loss in performance. A Macho Rev B and any reliable 80+ 650W+ PSU will do!

What is your display set up? Is it just a single 1080p 60hz display?

Was thinking either 1440p or 4k not sure which one I should get

Probably 4k, but is this like professional photo editing where you need 100% adobe RGB?

Monitor is more of a placeholder for price, but it is a really solid 1440p 144hz IPS display that has free-sync, probably has 100% sRGB anyways being IPS, would be a good middle ground between productivity and gaming, obviously a 390 cannot run games at 1440p 144hz, but you can just save the rest for polaris,

or maybe buy a 950 SSD instead of the one in the build, bit pricey but it's fast for workstations, the motherboard's M.2 slot is PCI-e, or so I gather reading that the bottom PCI-e becomes disabled if a PCI-e SSD is installed in the M.2 slot

$180 for 256gbs, and don't try to RAID 0 Sata SSDs to get the same speed, wouldn't be worth the risk.

You could also consider 40" 4k korean displays, there's a number of them, would be best for ultimate productivity, a 27" 4k display would be a bit too small
