A friend (Professional Photographer) has asked me to help him build a PC to allow him to edit photos using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. He said he will be mainly editing photos and sometimes doing videos, he said doing videos is very minimal and hardly does them. I am completely lost when it comes to this type of work, I only know about hardware for gaming needs.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Photoshop and lightroom for editing photos, will do a small number of videos
2) What's your budget? $1000 including tax and shipping
3) Which country do you live in? Buffalo, NY USA
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, MB, RAM, Power Supply, DVD/Bluray, Videocard, Case - You guys can probally leave out Case, I will just have him pick a case.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? We will not be re using any parts
6) Will you be overclocking? No
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? 1080p
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Within the next week to 2 weeks
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? USB 3.0
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit? Legit Windows 7 64bit, he plans to do the free upgrade to Win10
Like I said I'm not familiar with hardware for photo editing so I really dont know where to start for a CPU or videocard.
Thank you.
