    I will be a primarily Photoshop CC user - editing photos - no design or fancy stuff.

    I don't know that case, so be sure it has LOTS of places to mount cooling fans

     

    My case has places for front/top fans AND a 200mm fan in the side to blow air directly on the motherboard

    So is that forum the most appropriate as I am asking for help on the entire package - I did have trouble figuring out the most appropriate forum. Thanks for putting me in the correct spot.

    You should at least indicate which CC apps you intend to run. Each one has separate system requirements, and you need to check them all, one by one. Also check if the card is one of those recommended for Photoshop. Gaming cards might not be the best bet.
