[mrtheloe]

 

 

Hi Guys,

 

Finally, I am upgrading my old Macbook Pro 2012.

 

I want to switch to a 4k workstation. That's why I need a little help. I already own a monitor. My budget is about 1500 € = 1753 $

 

I hope you can help me

Its a bit over budget..., but should be brilliant for editing

this looks really good. Thank you! Back in 2012 I would only use a Intel CPU. Is the AMD as good as them?

Primarily Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After effects. 
 

For peripherals:
I just need Ethernet and USB. I'm not sure if I need USB C. Because I'm a Student I get the OS free from microsoft.

 

I'm from Austria

Maybe not for gaming, but for a workstation, the 8 cores you get is amazing value and performance over Intel. And, don't worry about overclocking, because the chip boosts to about 4.3 ghz, which is almost more than you can get out of an overclock!

Hope the build goes well!
