So after getting rid of my desktop PC and moving to a OK laptop I'm finding the laptop is not really that great at light room.

So I want to build/buy a small PC to go into my TV cabinet and its sole purpose will be light room.

I've looked at the minimum specs for a PC but as there are many togs who use light room what's the spec you would use to make the PC a capable machine.

TV used is 50" 4k.
 
Lots of memory.

Cores surprising dont matter which is a shame. 8 and 10 cores are no faster than 4 cores. Its all about cpu speed for max results.

the new AMD do very well and better than most Intel cpus but a fast overclocked i7 4 core gives the max results

LR is screaming our for proper multi core use and also GPU use. an Intel gpu runs LR as fast as a Titan gpu atm.

New lightroom CC classic makes much better use of cores in some areas (exporting particularly):

Personally for minimum specs I’d go Quad core with 16GB RAM for my type of usage. A Q6600 might be a bit long in the tooth but certainly worth trying.
