New computer specs

Perhaps I should have asked in here first but it's on it's way now just wondered if it seems ok mostly for photo editing I do have extra external drives as well.

yeah, that should do the trick

Setting aside the fact that I'd have made some different choices, the only thing that really stands out to me is the power supply.

I'd have put more power supply in it since that CPU is known to be quite hungry. Not much headroom there, but you don't have a particularly demanding GPU so it should be OK.

Should be a nice machine. I do see that “Colorblinded” mentioned the power supply. Looking up the specs I don’t see that as a big issue. You can review th finding at https://www.guru3d.com …k-processor-review,5.html where they found 295 watts for a multithreaded load. Keep in mind that is for the entire “representative” machine so it might be slightly different than yours but is offered up as a guideline.

I also note that the 550w rating on the Corsair PDU is the “continuous” rating.

If it weren't such a good power supply I'd be more concerned but those Corsair supplies are solid.

Still if you load enough drives in to that system and hook up enough USB devices and have the CPU and GPU running full out with the rest of the system being reasonably taxed you're coming closer to the PSUs rating than I'd typically choose to.

Many thanks guys,

I doubt I will ever put it under to much pressure most use will be just photo files I don't leave my external drives in all the time there just a backup .

Did you look at a Ryzen 3900X or 3800X?

They seem to be offering easily the best performance per dollar at the moment.

Otherwise it looks like a really sound system. We have a Fractal Design R5 and R6, both with the solid side panel. It's a nice case, has great filters and with solid side panel is very quite.

Rob, what program do you photo edit with?

To be honest iv always had Intel so had an idea of what i thought i wanted so stuck with that system .

I mainly use Affinity or PS 5 but only do basic PP no Layers and mostly jpeg I try to get them about right in the camera it's a hobby to me

Rob.

That computer is loaded to the gills lol.. you should have no problem doing just about anything you want with it.

It'll be plenty of computer either way

Hi Guys /Galls

Well it came today and up and running I loaded Photoshop and Affinity and both open in 2 seconds when i drop a file onto the short cut ,topaz denoise is 1 second to open and on standard setting takes 15 seconds to process a 14mb file .

Videos looks great and so is the sound with music files

The computer is absolutely silent all in all as good as i could wish for it takes 12 seconds to show the screen when i switch it on so not too bad.
