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. |

I have to buy for my next build by 3rd week in March. Hopefully there are enough reviews out by then to see if it's worth not going Intel.

Currently have a New case, 16gb ram, a new hard drive (will use my old drive as well) with a new GeForce 1070 arriving tomorrow. (Got one for 369.99 from amazon with a 10 dollar gift card. Also has a $20 MIR) All I have left to buy is the processor/motherboard/cooling combo. Hoping reviews of AMD come quick and prices drop. I've mainly used PC gamer to find the best deals, examine best builds (http://www.pcgamer.com/best-gaming-pc/). /reusing psu, dvd, and a few fans from my old build //what does everyone do with their old parts? Donate? Sell? Trash? I feel like my AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition still has a lot of life in it.

Can you dorks recommend a very quiet CPU cooling fan for a I3 processor? My son's stock fan is just way too loud.

Looking at reviews, it looks like Ryzen is pretty underwhelming.

In multi threaded tasks it is at times 2x as much power per dollar. In gaming its off by 5%-10% from big clock intel stuff, and it hasnt even had time for support to form. For OPs purpose, a Ryzen 1700x will get him almost twice as much Photoshop performance per dollar. In fact, I would recommend it for this build for most bang for the buck. |
