Hey all,

I'm going to be building my mother a PC for photo editing, the majority of editing she does is editing raw format photos in light room and I'm not too sure what would be better to have, I read somewhere that having more threads were better for raw formatting but would like to know others experience with AMD vs Intel.

[strike]This is the current build I've made for her:[/strike]

Edit:
Wrong link and a bit of miscommunication, This is the proper build I've made on PCPartpicker, I haven't made her a build yet, just planning to soon:

Thanks!
 


Yes, more threads are better.

You say

This is the current build I've made for her

That means you've already made it for her. I have.

No price next to the older CPU means you already own it.

The price of the GFX card is stupid high. Like ridiculously stupid high.

You want to at least double the amount of RAM.
