am looking to build my first pc as i am a photo retoucher and require a heavy duty system that can handle opening multiple files (1-2gb size) with lots of layers. I have selected storage on the basis of the fastest way to access and load files.
I have done a good amount of research so far and am quite confident about everything but would really appreciate another opinion, just incase i could get more for my money.
I would also like to move into using 3D softwares and would like to know if this build would be able to handle it.
My choice of GPU was severely affected by stock shortages in UK yet i do not have the time to wait as i have a project to start immediately, therefore i chose what i felt was the best compromise for power and price available now.
The other element i wasn't too sure on was the cpu cooler, as i heard that the stock cooler may be enough but thought to get an additional one incase. Is this necessary and if so have i opted for an appropriate one ?
I really appreciate any help that anyone can offer me here
