8k-16k photoshop editing and drawing build help

[Mors Dolor]

Hey, I have no idea what I'm doing, but I've been making digital art for a couple years and my old pavilion laptop has died on me. I could barely draw with my wacom tablet at 4k but I could edit at 8k if I didn't mind a little waiting. I'm basically broke, but I'd really like some help and expertise on a wallet friendly build that can handle smooth tablet drawing at 8k or higher and I'd really like to move my art up to 16k for my own personal gratification.

Thanks in advance.

What is the price range?

I'm not entirely sure

I want to say "not more than 1000" but I have no idea what I'm asking for should cost. I don't plan on gaming or anything other than Photoshop so I'm hoping I can get away with under 1000.

If it can be done for cheaper, I'm game. If it needs to cost more, so be it.

Do you want a prebuilt,  or do you know how to build a PC?

 

 

I've built PCs but nothing for myself

You want 16gb of RAM, a Ryzen 7 CPU, X370 MOBO, and an RX580. That should handle most editing.

So I've been looking for prices. 1000 USD is about 1500 NZD and these prices are in NZD.

 

ASRock X370 Gaming X ATX Form Factor For AMD Motherboard $254

AMD Ryzen 7 2700 8-Core CPU $415

2x8GB Team VULCAN TUF Gaming Alliance 3600MHz DDR4 Gaming RAM $339

MSI Radeon RX 580 8GB Armour OC Graphics Card $549

 

Totaling $1557 without considering a power supply or case. I'm pretty happy with it but was wondering if you can think of maybe a cheaper graphics card or alternative vendor? I went for a local vendor because I think New Zealand has a hefty electronics import fee.

You might consider an Intel cpu. Photoshop prefers higher performance cores over more cores.

I like a lot of those picks. I was going to overclock to 4.0 anyway and without the OS it's right on the mark.
