Please use punctuation. That is one of the longest run on sentences I've ever seen.

 

As for your build, I agree with @Electronics Wizardy I'd go with a 7700k, 7700, or perhaps even a Xeon (not sure what the new ones pricing is like).

 

Get lots of RAM. As much RAM as you can afford. PS loves RAM.

It's pretty important, especially in the business world :P You should download Grammarly! And let me know how it is. I've been legitimately curious. Kidding aside, this is what I'd do:

 

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel - Core i7-7700 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($289.99 @ SuperBiiz)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler  ($20.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: Asus - B150M-C D3 Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($44.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LP 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  ($219.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Crucial - MX300 525GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($159.88 @ OutletPC)
Storage: Western Digital - Blue 2TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($66.39 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: PNY - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB XLR8 Gaming OC Video Card  ($327.99 @ Dell Small Business)
Case: Thermaltake - Core V21 MicroATX Mini Tower Case  ($34.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Corsair - CXM 550W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply  ($39.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $1205.20

 

I don't know if the video card is actually in stock. Miners and all.

 

Edit: @Jurrunio put together some excellent builds. The EVO would probably work better for setting aside a small portion as a cache drive. That case is also super sexy. Personally I'd spend the extra $160 on the i7. You can write this off as a business expense, can't you?

Ryzen will be a bit slower in both games and PS, but I think the price difference should be more than make up for it.

Edit: @Jurrunio

Why b150 board? I think his budget can get a b250 board. Dont even think b150 is so much cheaper than b250.

 

Why ddr3 memory on a ddr4 system?

 

Since OP requires a lot of RAM, i would suggest 2x16 instead of 4x8. At least you have room for improvement. Not that it is required.

The testing in the following link will show you a comparison of the R7 1700X compared with a 7700K in Photoshop workloads.

Very nice detailed results.

 

Photoshop is not all optimized for multi core so I also would suggest the 7700 or 7700K.

It's $30ish cheaper, B250 doesn't really bring anything to the table that B150 doesn't have.

Odd, I thought PCP would have caught that. The last gen supported both memory types.

I get your point. But B150 board, in a $1500 budget, is just sad ?. I would probably show more love to my mobo, even it doesn't improve performance ?
