hi there everyone . id like to have advice regarding a photo editing build with intense light gaming possibilities . ps , i just wanted to let you know that im familliar with advanced terminology and pc components since i eat computer related subjects for breakfast (mostly ones related to gaming and a bit of thoses related to expert computing such as multi layered vm's with VT-d implementation on cpu so you could do a computer with 2 sets of monitor, keyboard and mouse and play along side your friend that would sits right next to you)
so heres the story , i have a friend that is european and hes in its 50's and did photography school the old fashion ways . hes with apple since , well , forever and he love playing games on its windows partition (he mainly focus on one mmorpg right now) . he has an old imac 27" 2013 . he'd like to switch to pc , but only if its favorable to him . so i told him pc was kinda android for iphones . meaning that android is way more customisable with tweeks and all that stuff that an iphone cant do due to its restrictive environment . we had a debate on gpu to use for photo editing . because he wants to make photo editing for a living when he gonna switch country . so he said to me that the gpu needs to be specificly engineered for photo editing . then i told him that theses days , you dont need a 2 to 5000 dollars (or in this case euro) quaddro to do photo editing . [{(so id like a gpu expert to confirm that please)}] . now the cpu part . with more cores these days on i5's and i7's would it be a good idea to make him purchase a i7 (dont worry i know he doesnt need to be K) if photo editing and gaming can be done with an i5 ? RAM side , would it be wise to go for bare minimum speed of ddr4 (2133) for lowest price but something like 32gb of ddr4 (2x16) ? would a cheap tlc nand based ssd be good for os , apps , main project files , and a second one for export with someting like a 2tb 7200 rpm hdd for completed project storing and another identical drive for game storage ? monitor wise , would a 500 euros ips monitor with great color gamut be over the top ? he has a very strict 2000 euro budget with taxes (not a cent more) . it does not matters if its less , in that case he will be even happier .
ty all for your future answers . i will be answering as quickly as i can
