I am a enthusiast photographer. I edit my photos using Photoshop Lightroom and some plugins mostly topaz.. I built my current system in 2018 it is
OS windows 11..
CPU Intel i78700k
MOB. Is a Gigabyte z390hp
Ram 64 gb 3200 ddr4
Graphics card GeForce 1050 6gb
Monitor Dell p2715qt. 4k , IPS 99
%% srgb 70% RGB.
The graphics card is outdated, the CPU is older too. So a new mob probably.. The monitor model came to market in 2014 and i purchased it new in 2018. Specs seem ok but there has been a lot of improvements since 2014
My questions are as follows
1. Will the monitor do the job if I upgrade my GPU.
2. If not what do I replace first My thinking and I'm not a computer nerd but not illiterate either
CPU and MOB
GPU
Monitor
If a new MOB was compatible with ddr4 I could use it for a bit
I have currently an Antex ATX case a 750 watt powered supply. M.2 , a solid stat hard drive and sever hdd I back photos up to
3. Where would you suggest I start..
Any hardware recommendations. Looking at mid to upper mid price range. All suggestions. welcome. Thanks for reading.
