I'm sure it's possible, but will it be a complete frustration doing media creation work for college classes with this system? I already have everything but the CPU and needed a cheap solution. The student needs a replacement for their old 1st-gen dual-core i7 laptop which is going bad until they can afford a Macbook Pro (not my suggestion, but that's their desire).
i3-6100
16GB DDR4 2800
Z270
240GB HyperX Savage SSD
RX 580 4GB Nitro+
EVGA 750 B2
1920x1080
Good deals on better CPUs are difficult to find for some reason in 6th and 7th-gen. Found this i3-6100 on eBay for $89. I've told the student we can upgrade it if it doesn't do what she needs it to do. I already ordered the i3.
*Oh, and will the RX 580 be of any use in media creation with Adobe? I know Photoshop has an option to allow Graphics to help out. I'm not sure exactly what she's doing other than vector graphics at the moment, and I'm sure other things later. If not I'll just leave it out. But the RX is just sitting here taking up space at the moment.
