Greetings!
My current system is about 4 years old. I primarilly work with large PS files 2+ gigs, lots of 30-50mp images in Lightroom.
I'm not looking for the highest cost/specs, kind of best bang for my buck. I'll build my own in the next 6 months.
And I want to be able to run a 4K monitor. and maybe a second 1080p(but not essential)
Any suggestions on CPU, Motherboard, video card?
I will probably use a SSD array for my start up. I have a ton of external USB 3.0 drives.
I don't do any gaming so many of the higher end video cards may be a waste. I may dable in vide but not much. No 3D rendering.
I'd max out the RAM hopefully 32gb. I currently run 16gb.
And I'm running Win 7 x64, but Windows 10 looks promising.
Probably not an issue, I do a lot of printing to Epson r1900, r2400, 9890.
I'm kind of excited setting up a new system.
If you have any recommendations on upcoming CPUs Video Cards etc I'm not in a rush but would like to build this in the next 6 month.
Thanks for your advice.
PS Interestingly, I know PS uses the GPU so the video card does a lot of the work. In the Lightroom forum, some say LR doesn't use the GPU at all? Weird.
