    Hi all,
    I am looking for a desktop to run photoshop on. I read that core i5 is what i need.


    I will be doing casual editing on photoshop.

    If anyone could recommend me a desktop pc, new or refurbished that can run photoshop at ease, i would much appreciate it

    Thanks

    What's casual editing. If you are not working with RAW files or really large images then you really don't need anything special

    Agreed. I'm using Photoshop on a laptop with an i5-6200U, 8GB RAM, it works fine for most tasks. Lightroom works fine too.
    I'm also using Photoshop on a desktop with a slightly better spec - a dedicated GPU andf multiple hard disks. Ideally you shoud have a dedicated GPU and a secondary disk. If you have a desktop adding a secondary disk is a trivial operation, and well worth the investment in performance terms, even if the basic setup isn't too powerful.
