Hi guys,
My friend needs budged PC for semi-profi photo editing. Primary photoshop / lightroom, some office stuff and extraordinary video editing (really extra, so I am not focused at in this build) around 500$. Im pretty sure about fast SSD, RAMS, PSU, etc...but i need your advice for CPU/GPU combo,because im not sure about its usage in LR. I read about low GPU usage in PS and LR and my GTX980 was really idle during processing, but need u to confirm it (i could miss HW acceleration or something like that )
I thought about ryzen 2400G/3400G as no brainer, but i dont wanna see slow processing because of exhaused GPU
next option was ryzen 1600 and cheap GPU (second hand GTX 1050 or my old quattro K2000), but it may be out of budget and with no / low warranity.
It'all for full HD with casual colors, no more bits needed.
So, what are your experiences and advises? Thanks for your responses!
Subquestion: can i notice speed differences between ryzen 1600 and 2400g in photo editing?
