Hi everybody!

I´ll build a new pc to my wife. The main usage is to do some photo editing with photoshop and photo book....

it should be a fast PC 

The initial idea for the budge would be something under 1000 euros 

but as you can see I came out with 1228 euros

I would like to know if all items are compatible and which parts you guys would replace to make it get under 1000 euros without compromising too much the performance

I´m in Germany 

 

Processor i5 8400                       176 euros

GPU GTX 1060 6GB                    337euros

motherboard MSI Z370 A pro      120 euros

Ram Crucial DDR4 8GB               86 euros

SSD sandisk 240GB                     59 euros

HDD 2TB                                       58 euros

water cooler H100i v2                   115 euros

power supply corsair vs550         45 euros

Probably start of with the motherboard, since a z-series chipset will do you little good with a locked chip.

Drop the AIO, the stock cooler for the 8400 is perfect and since you can't overclock the 8400 anyway, it just adds unneeded cost.

If you buy the motherboard locally you could do with an X370 or B350 board instead to shave some cost off, if you can verify it's got an updated BIOS to support the Ryzen 2000 series chips.

I would change the SSD. Green is super low end. Either pay a little more for the MX500 or get something like the L5 Lite 3d

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

first of all I would like to say thank you very much to everybody that took the time to read and answer my post 

a special thanks to @Lurick that took a step beyond and even listed the links one per one 

that made so much easier to find the parts

 

so somebody asked me why the motherboard "msi z370 a pro" to a processor that isn´t overclockable how does that make sense?                                                                                             

it´s cheaper than the "msi x470" and if in something like more 3 years or so she decides to upgrade this system and get an i7 8700k 

the processor will be cheaper than now and the increment in performance from the i5 8400 into an i7 8700k is substantial

with little money, she will get a good boost in performance.

 

the water cooler I guess it is overkill to the purpose of the build, but I don´t know if there a stock cooler along with the processor

 

when I bought my i7 8700k, there was no cooler along with it (it were shipped wrapped in a bubble plastic with nothing also).

just in case that there isn´t a stock cooler together with the processor

Yah, that would be better.

There is a stock cooler though, all locked processors come with them (thankfully) :)

It's only the -K or -X SKUs that don't have them anymore.
