desktop computer specs for graphics layout (photoshop and corel)

[sean-archer]

Processor: I prefer AMD, will an AMD A10 suffice?
Mobo: which brand is best?
RAM: how many GB?
Graphics card: i also have no idea which one to get..
HDD: i'm thinking of 2TB only so that mas konti "iikutan" nya vs 4TB...

I plan to load Win10 as my OS.

Your inputs and suggestions are most welcome. Thanks!!!

A10 will not suffice.

If going the amd path, ryzen 7 will be much better since you have more cores. Afaik, photoshop and corel are also cpu intensive when rendering.

Ram-16gb at a minimum.

Hdd - get a ssd one for bootup and i initial loading of programs. then pair it with a typical hard drive. Your choice how big.

Gpu- up to you. I dont think you need professional grade cards.

Hmmm, Sir if I go with intel, which should I get, kung magtipid ng konti kakayanin na ba ng i5?
Thanks for the SSD suggestion, Ill pair this with a 2tb regular hd
For the GPU, what if I just use the built-in video of a decent intel-compatible motherboard?

Thanks again!

Lag aabutin mo niyan pag integrated graphics lang gagamitin mo.

At least get a decent dedicated GPU intended for rendering.

Think of it this way, it's an investment if you use it for photoshop and corel which i think will net you profits.

Spend money to earn money.

Happy building!

I couldn't agree more. Tama ka sir.

Processor - Get intel i7 for rendering purposes. trust me on this one.
Mobo - Asus
RAM - 16GB is minimum if you'll be rendering layered files
Graphics card: Get nvidia quadro - purpose built for workstation.
HDD: Why not SSD?

Thanks Sir blancnoir for the suggestions, yeah, ill also get the SSD.

Anything that has more cores. I7 or i5 would suffice din naman. wag lang i3 or pentium line.

If budget is not an issue, a nvidia 1050ti is just enough...not high end, not the basic barebones din.

Yes, anything that would require graphic rendering/gaming should have atleast decent dedicated video card...

Get an Nvdia 1060 and up based graphics card tp help in rendering.

Agree on the i7. The more cores and clock spped and ram the better.

Ssd is an absolute must for your boot and program files and even your working project.

gtx1060 ... its worth the investment

october-november darating ang gtx1160 [emoji848]


ssds are nice but look into nvme's

ryzen gen2s are ok but theyre not as overclockable as 8 series intels. higher clock speeds are better for these applications.

How heavy is the workload?

I've done countless Photoshop, Premiere, and Lightroom jobs with my 11 year old Q6600, 6GB RAM, and GTX 460. Could do with an upgrade, but my point is it's not as much about the hardware as it is about the user.

How much is the budget anyway?

If you're buying a new desktop in 2018, an i5+decent GPU is a better all rounder than an i7 for the same price.

An SSD is a must have. It makes a world of difference in boot up and app loading times.

16GB RAM minimum if you do heavy graphics work. 8GB is fine for light stuff.

I'm actually planning to buy 2 units (40k each for cpu alone, without monitor and peripherals) as addition to my existing AMD units. I have a small printing business, (printing posters, tarps, etc..) pero pansin ko medyo bumibigat na computing power requirements ng business. Photoshop and corel draw are our main layout apps. Kaya nilalaro ko sa 40k budget baka kung overpowered naman ay sayang lang if hindi na ma maximized.

Photoshop CC 218 CPU Performance: AMD Ryzen 2 vs Intel 8th Gen

that link has photoshop benchmark comparing ryzen 2 and intel 8xxx

your choice.

I used to frequent TipidPC because I made build recommendations for people and also assembled PCs on the side back in college. Here's a suggested build:

CPU: i3-8100 3.6 GHz quad-core (6k)
MB: Gigabyte B250M D3H (5k)
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 16GB DDR4 (10k)
GPU: Palit GTX 1050 (8k)
PSU: Seasonic S12II 620W 80+Bronze (3.4k)
SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 250 GB (5k)
HDD: WDC Blue 2TB (3.5k)
Case: Fractal Core 1000 USB 3.0 (2k)
Total: 43k

The i3-8100 is great value vs an i5 because it still has 4 real cores unlike older i3s. Just misses out on Turbo but that's okay because it has a high clock speed.

Yoy can also opt for a cheaper 1TB hard drive (2.3k) if you don't need the space.

Wow, thanks for the specs! , how much will I add to the 43k if I slap in an i5 instead of i3 sir?

And that 8k gtx is 2gb right?

If the PC isn't going to be for gaming, I'm assuming the dedicated video cards are for CUDA-enabled apps or the AMD equivalent (is it still Stream?).

I also remember reading somewhere about CUDA capabilities not being that different between lower-end and higher-end cards. He could probably make do with a GT 1030 or even lower such as the GT 740.

Photoshop doesn't need CUDA since it uses OpenGL and OpenCL acceleration from any GPU.

But it's true that a high end GPU might not be fully utilized by PS so a midrange card like the GTX 1050 paired with a capable CPU and sufficient RAM should be enough for most people.
