Hi guys, I need help with the specification for a new desktop PC...
Budget around £2000
Used for photoshop, lightroom classic etc. Processing photos...
Must have a hdmi port for a wacom..
Ideally something that will last a few good years..

Thanks.... I have no idea about computers!!!! So I will need to investigate the GPU option...
Also I do have a laptop with only one SSD along with a hard drive...
Would I definitely need 2 ssd drives?
Just checked my laptop graphics card and it's a NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti - 4.0GB GDDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 12.1...
Thanks

Great thanks for your explanation... It really makes sense....
Just out of interest I have looked up my laptop graphics card and it's a NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti - 4.0GB GDDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 12.1.... I had my laptop made by pc specialist in 2018...
So what you suggest would be great...
Thanks

Very similar to my build, ordered today. I went with the 500D SE and some different storage options. My new case will have more bling the the Fractal.
