Advice needed for PC Rig build

[zohn1999]

Main use is for lightroom photo processing.

I will need

Good CPU
32 GB RAM
1 or 2 TB SSD
Entry or Average GPU
24 to 27 inch monitor
Using windows
Using lightroom mainly. Casual hobbyist

Full ATX is preferred. As I believe better for system overall. Air and heat.
Ok for microATX

Added: budget $1,500
Thank you.

lightroom leans mainly on cpu, and hardly uses gpu. the performance uplift when using a midrange to high end card like the 3080 is only around 10%, so id say its better off to maximise budget on cpu and run off integrated/cheap dedicated graphics. speaking of which, what is ur budget?

 

[poooooo]

13600k more than enough, LR don't really need multicore, just need a fast single core.

Get a apple mac studio.

Very expensive

plenty of money to play with, assuming budget is for pc only.

cpu + mobo	core i7 13700 + gigabyte b760m aorus elite ax d5	831	fuwell
cooler	thermalright peerless assassin 120 *157mm height	57	tradepac
ram	gskill ripjaws s5 2x 16gb 5600mhz ddr5	145	bizgram
ssd	wd black sn850x 1tb	130	tradepac
psu	nzxt c650 gold	130	tradepac

with a $150 budget for a m/atx case of ur choice, total is up to $1443. if need to accommodate monitor, i would change the above to the following:

cpu + mobo	ryzen 5 7600 + asus tuf gaming b650m plus wifi	589 (574 + 15 for combo only)	dynacore
ram	gskill flare x5 2x 16gb 5600mhz ddr5 expo	145	bizgram

u can also even drop the cooler, as ryzen non x parts sip power and the box cooler is generally adequate. this would give u about $300-350 for a decent 27" monitor.

quiet operation with low cpu temps. intel stock cooler is not that great, especially for a power hungry cpu like the 13700.

is there any computer case that will work with thermalright peerless assassin 120 *157mm height? how can I check the height?

I found
Lian Li 216 . this fits rights?

CPU COOLER HEIGHT CLEARANCE	180.5mm (max)

Can fit no issues with this case with that HSF.

You can easily double your RAM if you don't mind buying from Amazon

as mentioned before, getting a dedicated gpu wont boost performance much in lightroom and would be a waste as u are not gaming. id rather spend less extra money (~$110) on getting the faster 13700. id also go for the asus rog strix 750w (which is basically a rebranded focus) if it is in stock or msi mpg a750gf, both under $150.

thats the same capacity, but u lose local warranty support.

Actually these software like blender or hitfilm, when doing rendering or encoding will stress the cpu even more than gaming, my 12700 playing cyberpunk only 65+C, but rendering for blender hits 75+C. That is with arctic lf 280 aio.

LR normal operation won't stress your cpu that much, but during exports if you have a lot of files, that is one of the time it will stress your cpu as it will use those 8 cores available.

Very expensive

apple mini cost 600-800+
600+ M1 chip
800+ M2 chip

take your pick
