I'm looking at building a new desktop for my photoshop/lightroom and very infrequent Premier work with hopes of upgradability or at least using some components in future PC builds. As a professional photographer who often prints images, that basically means I need a professional graphics card, just for the 10-bit support in Photoshop. I'd like to be able to edit large (often 2gb saved files) images with little slow down and in the future, be able to do some light gaming. I'll be storing most of my work across a network with a handful of shucked WD Red 8tb drives. Peripherals are not included in this budget though I'll be running 2-3 monitors (1440p and 4k). My budget (excluding a future consumer GPU upgrade) would be about $1100 and is not that flexible.
First, does anyone see any problems room for cost-efficient improvement in by build?
ie. Intel vs AMD CPU?

a cheap case
ASRock z390 Phantom Motherboard
Corsair 650w 80+ Bronze PSU
i5 9600k CPU
Quadro p600 GPU
Noctua NH-D14 CPU cooler
Noctua NF-F12 case fans (total of 4 fans)
WD Black 500gb NVMe Boot Drive
At some point, it would be nice to also game on this PC, leading me to my next question....
Would it be possible to use the Quadro p600 exclusively for Photoshop and have a consumer graphics card run other tasks?
I'm thinking maybe a future 1660ti for gaming.
Only one monitor would be needed for gaming but I'd like to not switch my cables around between gaming and professional work.
Thank you in advance.
