Hello guys,
I'm searching for my father-in-law for his new computer. It's intended to be used for professional photo editing and of course, some internet surfing (banking, youtube etc.). It's a ZERO PERCENT gaming build!
I've picked up the following parts (see link above). What is missing is a PSU and a motherboard.
For the motherboard I thought about the MSI Z370-A Pro.
For the PSU I considered the be quiet! Pure Power 400W.
1- Are these both good choises?
2- Considering the whole built, do you see any weak points or exaggerations?
2a- Is an EVGA GTX 1060 overkill for photo editting? Or maybe too less?
2b- Should we get instead an Ryzen octa-core or will the hexa-core i7 8700 do its job fine?
2c- Any other considerations?
Thank you VERY much in advance!!!!
