MY current Photoshop editing PC is AMD Ryzen 5 2400g, MSI B450m, 32GB RAM, NVMe 500GB, NO GPU.

should i update CPU to 5600g without GPU or spend some extra money for 5500 + GPU (gtx 1650 or intel A380).

OR should i leave the platform and build from scratch?

I only specifcally use Photoshop and Lightroom for wedding album designing,
for which i have to work with lots of RAW photos everay day

NO GAMING NO 3D WORK

    I always recommend building it yourself. It's not nearly as difficult as people think. The reward, if done with a little care in picking components (tried and tested, no bleeding edge) is a solid workhorse machine that never fails. The secret is that you get a basic Windows installation without any "helpful" modifications. That's what causes all the problems.

     

    Yes to RTX 30- or 40- series.

     

    Just between you and me, Intel seems a safer bet than AMD. There just seem to be some inexplicable issues with AMD. Not always obviously, but more often.

      I would take the system requirements and go with at least the recommened setup, not minimum.

      You for sure need GPU and not a 1650 or Intel. I would start with the 3000 series gtx and go from there.
