I need a new computer for Design/Photography work. The computer will be used 10hrs a day for photo editing, office work (email/scheduling etc), music streaming, and light design work.

I've drafted up a few builds, and have been reading about the 8350 vs an i7.

Ideally, this would be microATX, fast at handling Adobe applications, and relatively quiet. I know CS6 uses a bit of GPU, so I was curious what kind of build I should go for- that I can upgrade in later years. I've had some trouble getting advice for this, because this machine won't be used to game at all.



Sorry for the awkward read, English isn't my first language.

Thanks for any help/advice!

I would use the i7 build if you will be using after effects and premier. If only cs6 go for the amd build. On the amd build drop either the HDD or ssd and get a rx 480 from fry's
