Current system is old (i7 860), so starting new with everything. Don't do gaming, and need a system for content creation (photoshop, illustrator, occassional video work).
Looking at at the i5 / ryzen 2600.
Is the integrated GPU on the i5 powerful enough to handle fairly intensive photoshop work? Large files, filters, etc. I know people have always recommended a dedicated GPU, but not sure if that's the case anymore if you're not doing a lot of gaming.
Also work with large Illustrator vector files and current system grinds to a halt with more complex files and artwork. Not sure if that would be a GPU or CPU thing but need to address that issue as well.
Don't have a big budget, so basically deciding between (IMO) better Ryzen 2 and having to buy a GPU, or i5 Coffee Lake and using integrated graphics.
Any input/experiences would be appreciated!
