What's the budget and what did the above cost?

The CPU is obsolete and there are a lot of newer, better options on different platforms. Sub optimal storage. Better GPU.

 

[SpyderTracks]

IMHO, that CPU (and hence the platform) is pretty much redundant over the 9900k, in fact, I think they're exactly the same chip, just with a slightly better base frequency on the 9800x but at the cost of having to go onto the X299 platform which is insanely expensive without getting any benefits of that platform because the chip can't provide the added requirements.

Dah, @Oussebon beat me to it!

The cost of this is (rounded) £1880 (inc VAT). Budget is £2000 max (inc vat)
I'm pretty ignorant on this subject (probably already evident!)
Really specific changes are very welcome.
Thank you so much for your time.

My desktop was primarily built for photo editing (and a bit of gaming).

If I was building a new PC, I'd go for
AMD 3900X ( 12 Core CPU is the new productivity king)
32 GB 3200 RAM
1 x ADATA 480GB SSD for Windows Install
1 x Samsung 1TB NVME M.2 as scratch pad and work in progress files
1 x 4TB HDD for bulk storage

The NVME as a working drive is a good way of helping Adobe products, as you can use it as a cache drive, and my workflow is to initially import RAW files (Video/Photos) to this drive, so when working on them everything is on the fastest drive, then I export to the HDD (In my setup this is a separate NAS box).

The 3900X is the new productivity king, and if wanting to serve websites while encoding etc, having 12 Cores, 24 thread opens up more possibilities.

Then I'd go for the largest CPU Cooler you can, the closed loop water coolers are a good compromise IMO.

Then I'd add a 1660Ti GPU, not only can adobe products use the GPU, but why not open yourself up to a spot of gaming if you ever fancy it!

1 x ADATA 480GB SSD for Windows Install

If putting the OS on a Sata SSD at least go with the 860 Evo versus trash tier

I'd probably go with the X570-PLUS mobo and save £60.

This is incredibly helpful sir; thank you.

Having admitted that this world is alien to me and that I have little knowledge (thus my appeal to the forum), I clearly don't have a handle on industry jargon or acronyms either. In the main, your pot avoids all that and is specific whilst keeping an eye on my intended use. I'm very grateful indeed. Thank you so much for your time and advice.

How do others feel about this well-considered spec?

How do others feel about this well-considered spec?

In terms of storage (SSD/HDD) I'm in full agreement with Oussebon that the SSD on which Windows and your applications are installed wants to be the fastest you can afford. An SSD doesn't just improve boot and program load times, it improves all reads and writes, including those done by Windows and running applications. The time taken to read and write to storage is massive compared to CPU/GPU/RAM speeds, so speeding read/writes up as much as you can for those things that need it, mainly Windows and applications, makes a big different to overall system performance.

For data storage (images, music, videos, Office docs, emails, etc. etc.) only images (and large files like big spreadsheets and databases) see an improvement from being loaded from an SSD - it avoids the screen paint you sometimes get with high-res images loaded from slow drives (and for large databases and spreadsheets it avoids the wait for the data to be available).

Music and videos get zero benefit from being on a SSD - because they are 'played' in real time giving loads of time to load the next buffer from a quite slow device like an HDD.

Smaller files (Office docs, emails, etc.) do load faster from an SSD but the difference is measured in milliseconds and you will hardly notice the improvement an SSD brings.

Thus the most cost effective solution for storing videos, music, Office docs, emails and the like is on a faster (7200rpm) HDD - but you do need to manage HDDs somewhat. Regular garbage cleaning, regularly archiving/deleting data you no longer need, and regularly defragging the drive all help a lot in maintaining decent HDD performance. Also when sizing an HDD it's wise to never plan to fill it to more than about 60% of its capacity, it still works if you go over that of course but performance falls off quite rapidly the fuller an HDD becomes.

The other factor to consider with an HDD in particular is how busy the drive will be. If only one application is reading/writing to the drive at a time then performance will be fine, but if you have three or four applications all reading and writing to the same HDD at the same time then performance will fall of very rapidly. The same is also true of SSDs, but because of their much faster response time the performance degradation is less noticeable.

What all this means is that you want a very fast SSD around 256GB to 512GB in size dedicated to Windows and applications. Your music, videos, Office docs, emails, etc. will be fine on a large capacity 7200rpm HDD (remembering the 60% full rule of thumb). You then have to decide whether you can afford an SSD for your images, it doesn't need to be as fast (or expensive) as the Windows/applications drive however. As a (very) rough rule of thumb a 7200rpm HDD has a data transfer rate around 150MB/s, so even a cheap SSD with a data transfer rate of around 500MB/s will load images three times faster - and that's probably good enough for high-res images.

If you can afford an SSD dedicated to images then include one, but if you can't a dedicated HDD for images (to avoid contention from other applications) will be better than lumping all data on a single HDD.

Wow! I feel I've just been given incredibly valuable information here that is so understandable. How incredibly generous of you; thank you so much.

Just reading your information will have saved me wasted £'s. You have gone to so much trouble. Believe me, your help will be put to good use. In many ways, I feel your reply could be helpful to so many were a link to it possible. I'll let you knwo what I pursue which, inevitably will be compromised by budget but at least I feel more equipped to understand (relative to my needs in use), where the compromises can least painfully be made.

Thank you so very much.

Sorry sir; one possibly very silly question....

Can this drive two separate monitors for Photoshop etc such that the menus etc can be on one and the image etc on the other?
(I'm guessing one via HDMI and one via VGA?)
Thanks

Yes, but it will be Display Port or HDMI.

VGA hasn’t existed for some time!

My desktop was primarily built for photo editing (and a bit of gaming).

If I was building a new PC, I'd go for
AMD 3900X ( 12 Core CPU is the new productivity king)
32 GB 3200 RAM
1 x ADATA 480GB SSD for Windows Install
1 x Samsung 1TB NVME M.2 as scratch pad and work in progress files
1 x 4TB HDD for bulk storage

The NVME as a working drive is a good way of helping Adobe products, as you can use it as a cache drive, and my workflow is to initially import RAW files (Video/Photos) to this drive, so when working on them everything is on the fastest drive, then I export to the HDD (In my setup this is a separate NAS box).

The 3900X is the new productivity king, and if wanting to serve websites while encoding etc, having 12 Cores, 24 thread opens up more possibilities.

Then I'd go for the largest CPU Cooler you can, the closed loop water coolers are a good compromise IMO.

I have upgraded the power supply to 750w but pretty much stayed with this spec (above) Thank you Phitol. Astonishingly helpful.
I would have purchased this evening but for PCSPECIALIST's website sending me in circles (once I'd chosen the Highlands & Islands delivery option). It never progresses to a final purchase/payment option. Grrrr

 

[phitol]

Its a great spec and don't worry about the 750W Power supply, of all the components I've ever had fail on me, two of those have been run of the mill PSUs, so I now just always go a bit OTT on those myself, but I admit thats only for peace of mind, not for scientific reasons!
