How does this build list look?
Hello,
I am looking to build a custom PC that will work well with Adobe both Creative Cloud and Photoshop Elements where I have been doing some basic photo editing as well as 1080p slideshow/video exports, Autodesk
Fusion modeling for 3D printing, and everyday Office and web browsing. I would like to be able to easily meet or exceed (within reason) the recommended system requirements for these programs now as well as have some room for the future such as possibly adding more internal storage or RAM. I initially asked ChatGPT just to get an idea of what I should use, then tried to piece together all the parts with the builder. This is the list I built based on what I was allowed/able to add:
however there are some differences from what ChatGPT suggested:
Case Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact (front USB-C + 2x USB-A)
Motherboard (Gen5) MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk WiFi (PCIe 5.0 x16 + Gen5 M.2_1, WinFi 6E, BT 5.3, 2.5GbE)
CPU AMD Ryzen 7 9700X (8C/16T)
CPU Cooler Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE (AM5)
RAM G.SKILL Flare X5 64GB (2x32) DDR5n6000 EXPO
GPU MSI RTX 4070 SUPER Ventus 2X OC (12GB)
Storage 2x Crucial T500 2TB NVMe Gen4
PSU be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 750W (ATX 3.1, modular)
I know AI on its own isn't the best source so I wanted to run both lists by a group who would know better than me at this as I have never built my own PC before. If there are any ways to trim up the cost as well without losing out on functionality, those suggestions would also be greatly appreciated as my goal was to stay under $2000. I suspect one of those areas would be the RAM though I know those prices are currently inflated no matter what I choose.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
