This will be my 3rd pc build in about 4 years. This time I've created two wish lists. One based on Intel and the other Ryzen.

I mainly use my pc for photo editing with lightroom, photoshop, and nik. I also enjoy playing games from time to time. (Souls series, Dragon's Dogma, other random steam games)

I'm leaning toward the Ryzen build simply due to cost, but wanted to get others opinions about which build might work best. Take a look and thanks for the input.

since it is only gaming plus photo editing, you don't need to spend 1500, this is good enough for your usage:
