Question

Buying iMac 2019 for Adobe Suite

Hello guys,

 

I would like to buy an iMac 27'' 5k retina 2019 so I have few questions.

The configuration I aim for is this:

  • All-In-One-PC, OS X 64 Bit
  • 68.6 cm (27.0") Display, 5120 x 2880
  • Intel Core™ i9-9900KF 8x 3.60 GHz
  • AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 8.0 GB
  • 40 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD

 

So my question is about the processor: 

-- Should I buy 9900K or 9900KF ?

 

I use this iMac mostly with Photoshop + Lightroom and also Premier.

 

Thank you

Before worrying about the processor, I would look at the rest of the spec.

 

1. Since you mention "suite", check that you have Creative Cloud; an old Creative Suite cannot run.

2. I do not see 40 GB as an offered amount of RAM. I only see 8/16/32/64 GB. For serious use, 32 GB sounds good.

3. I am very worried that you propose to get the smallest available SSD, 512GB. This does not sound enough for serious use. Many people have been trapped by their initial choice here, which is much more important than CPU.

I will buy it with 8GB ram and I have home 32GB more to complete.

I have external drives for more storage, don't worry.

 

My single doubt is about the i9 K or KF ?

Adobe products needs additional GPU from CPU or not ?

Hi,

The iMac should not have the option for "Intel Core™ i9-9900KF".
