I am going for a relatively cheap PC build, but it should still be ok.
The goal is to use it for photo editing with Photoshop for big raw images, and random family stuff like browsing the web, with 2 1080p monitors.
I looked around a bit at hardware, and selected for now the following:
CPU - Intel i3 10100, with an Arctic Alpine 12 CO cooler.
MOBO - Asus PRIME B460-A
RAM - Corsair Value Select 16GB DDR4 2400Mhz CL16.
PSU - Corsair RM550x.
CASE - Antec VSK3000 ELITE (cheap and bad, but it's a metal box like all other metal boxes?)
I don't think a dedicated GPU is really needed for Photoshop, hence just a decent Intel CPU. Please correct me if I am wrong, since if one is needed, I'd probably go for a Ryzen CPU instead.
I think the MOBO and PSU may be too expensive compared to the CPU that they are going to run? even if so, I am not sure if there are other models that are cheaper and not completely terrible in my country (Israel).
Does this build look reasonable?
Thanks
