Photo system

Hello wise and wonderful people of this forum I need advice. I want to build a system that primary use is photo shop but can also play games. Need to be able to handle two screens. I have one screen already so need another. So need to build a system and get a monitor for £1000.
Thank you in advance for your help peeps

My partner is a photographer and she wants it for PS for when she does a photo job for editing the pics

Would it this set up work but with nvidea card instead? I wouldn't need tge 1tb drive so that could free up an extra £38

the only reason is that i have a read in a couple places that Photoshop works better with then over AMD cards. so as i need this first for photoshop fig best to go with that

So you think I'm better off going amd rather than nvidea? Thank you for your help and patience mate

The above Nvidia build would get you a better gaming rig

Price increase of it means you could get i7 8700 non K and Rx 570 , CPU would give better lightroom performance

How much more price increase? Still get good setting out of rx 570 right?

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Acer Nitro VG240YU 24" 2560x1440 75Hz FreeSync QHD Widescreen LED Gaming Monitor= £209.99

Total: £209.99

This one's interesting too. You get a little more refresh rate, response time (claimed), and Freesync (which may or may not work well with Nvidia card after tweaking settings with CRU). Could be worth a punt.

Thank you for your ideas really appreciate the help guys
