Hello,

I need a lightning PC for LR but i am in a Budget.

 

I suggest ryzen 7 3800

ASRock Main

16gb RAM

2tb SSD

1660 super GTX

 

would you say that this will BE really fast? I am working in a7r4 Pic here.

Any Suggestions will BE appreciated. Thx

Seems like you have picked a fast CPU. However ...

 

Fast (lightning fast) on a budget? These terms generally are not possible together ... of course, you don't say what your budget is, that might help. Budget with 60MP photos from your camera ... I would not recommend this, if only I knew what your budget is.

Sorry, i did ask incorrectly.

My budget is 1000€.

 

I just wanted to know:

are there obvious bottlenecks?

is the graphiccard too strong for that setup?

would it be much better to use another ssd just for win and apps?

 

I just would like to know if i make obvous mistakes.

Thanks a lot:)

Well, my gut feel is that running Lightroom Classic on a computer bought with a budget of 1000 euros, and a camera that takes 60MP photos is not a good combination.

 

My recommendations would be to get the fastest CPU you can afford, 16GB of RAM, whatever size hard disks you need. Then, save some money by getting a 1920x1080 monitor, and then you don't need a powerful graphics card; in fact you can get by with the graphics card built into the motherboard, if there is one, or a bottom of the line graphics card.

 

Note: The above recommendations are for Lightroom Classic only; if you will be regularly using other software, then you may have additional or different hardware requirements than what I said.
