Hi there, Im new to overclockers forums, so hi all I hope you can help with some advise.
Im looking at building a new photography/gaming pc. I use Capture One & Adobe Lightroom/Photoshop, no video work at the moment but that might change in the future. I have already got kb & mouse, I have 2 27" Dell monitors both 1440p one is a gsync 144hz monitor, the other has wider colour gamut.
I was originally set on an Amd Ryzen 2700x system with option to upgrade later in the year when the new cpus come out, however doing a bit of research it seems the intel stuff runs that bit better with Adobe, so now I'm unsure which cpu's to go for. I've put a system together here, please tell me what your thoughts are. I specced a i9 9900k but would definitely look at cheaper alternatives, I'm not looking at overclocking as its something ive never done, plus it seems the i9 cpu runs very hot under load. I haven't added a gpu yet as I was looking at either an rtx 2080/2080Ti FE for 1440p. Thanks for your help.
