Hi guys looking for some info for desktop to either buy or build for photo editing. At present my desktop is an old sell a couple of hard drives in it that I would like to keep in new one any info on best spec that would be upgradable in the future. I’ll need at least 32Gb ram and sad drive. Budget about €750

From what I saw you need SSE 4.2 - so most CPU's will do - and plenty of space on fast IO - so an SSD with 1TB. Also, apparently LR is core friendly so, at least 8 cores. The only thing you got going to meet your budget is the fact that you don't need a dGPU so any 8-core with IG with do fine for you.

Thanks Jon Doe for the reply. I could probably stretch to a €1000 budget. I would like a decent graphics card in it. It’s been a while since I did any pc building and need to know best place to buy either components for build or prebuilt unit. Thanks again
