new pc for photography work

[Ezyryder]

Hi,

My dad needs a new PC, just the tower itself, he does quite a bit of amateur photography work, but apart from that it will only be used for browsing the net and some word processing.

I was going to go for 8GB of RAM and an SSD but do you think he could benefit from 16GB instead?

I was thinking on a B450 mobo & AMD Ryzen 3 2200g combo.

Thanks!

HDMI AN Displayport. ASUS board uses older DVI/VGA so heads up if they ever push their photography hobby and get a better screen in future etc
