Help with a custom Computer build
Needs to work fast, Photoshop #1 use (installed not in the cloud).
Running Dual monitors. Looking at http://www.digitalstorm.com and http://www.ecollegepc.com, but not locked in to any site. Want to keep it under $2k. I have additional storage available so that's not an issue. Thanks in advance for any help. |

You are going to save money. My guess is if you wait even a little longer for Intels return salvo (skylake-E) then you can save some big bucks.
Gotta kind of wait and see what happens but hardware prices are constantly falling outside of 'current gen' |

A couple of notes here, as i somewhat recently built a work machine to handle photoshop/Premiere and studied up and what's best for those applications in particular....
1. Your video card shouldn't be judged by gaming benchmarks. Aside from virtual memory, aim for a card that has a high Cuda Core count, or in AMD's language, "stream processors" as Adobe's programs are really built to utilize cuda cores/Stream processors. On high end non-gaming cards, you'll find that they have a very high Cuda Core count. So if you're planning on using a mainstream gaming card, check the Cuda Cores. DO NOT simply look at gaming benchmarks for a video card. That's wrong if you're trying to build a graphics processing computer. Nvidia generally makes better cards for Video/Photo editing. 2. Adobe products are built to utilize every core in a processor. Unlike video games that generally utilize a maximum of 4-cores, adobe Photoshop & Premiere can and will utilize more cores if they're available. With that said, i know AM3+ is out of date and soon to be replaced, but during my research i found that AMD's 8-Core processors outperformed Intel's 4-core processors in applications such as Adobe Premiere mostly due to the fact that Premiere could utilize all 8-cores on an AMD processor. Now, that doesn't ring true for gaming, as traditional benchmarks will have Intel's products eek ahead of AMD's dated processors. But again, we're talking about work, not gaming. It's completely understandable if you don't want to invest into an outdated architecture, so with that in mind, if you go Intel, make sure you select an Intel processor with at minimum 4 physical cores. NOT that hyper-threading shit that's generally found on I3's and lower end I5's. Generally Intel's budget CPU's are 4-core hyper-threaded. Remember that "4-Core Hyper-threaded" can also mean 2 PHYSICAL cores, and 2 Virtual cores. Get at minimum a high-end I5 that has at least 4 PHYSICAL cores, which equates to 8-core hyper-threaded. The more physical cores, the better for Adobe creative applications. 3. RAM is your friend. Don't be afraid to load up on RAM, the fastest you can buy. Because RAM is your friend, i would highly suggest a new Skylake build since those MoBo's can utilize the newer DDR4. If i had to build yet another machine, i'd build a Skylake rig with ample DDR4 Ram (especially if you run dual monitors) and a 6-Core I7 (12-core Hyper-Threaded), a great SSD and a video card with a high Cuda Core count.

Keep in mind that Intel's 6-core I7 CPU's = 12-core Hyper-threaded....
And if you really wanna get crazy with it, Intel makes a 10-core I7....(20-Core Hyper-threaded)

This is why my original build was a 6800k.. 6 cores, 12 threads, 32mb ddr-3000, lots of SSD space.. photoshop users dream.

The AMD cores are due around March 3rd, so the wait isn't extreme.
If they are back to the era where they actually give a shit, AMD did well in the multi-processing sector. I'd wait it out. |

Agreed. EveryONE is waiting on these to drop. In fact, preliminary leaks show you could get extreme multi-threaded performance for less money than intel.
