I'm planning to buy a PC primarily for Photoshop and Lightroom, along with some video editing using After Effects and Premiere Pro. I need it to be powerful enough to handle the latest versions of these programs smoothly for several years.

I have an option to choose between Ryzen 7 7700X, Intel Core i7-14700F and Intel Core i9-14900KF. What would you recommend? I'm currently leaning towards Intel Core i9-14900KF but I've read about some crashes/issues so I would like to be sure it is actually the best option.

The other specs would be these:

  • RAM: 64 GB

  • HDD: 2 TB

  • SSD: 2 TB M.2 NVME

  • Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce RTX4070 SUPER

  • Graphics Card Memory: 12 GB GDDR6X

Go Intel, not AMD.

 

Statistically, we see a lot more problems here on AMD systems. That's not because they make "bad" product - it's because AMD's market is gaming. That's where they direct all their efforts, and that doesn't always play well with Photoshop and graphics applications.

 

Don't worry too much about benchmarks. Any decent CPU will be fast enough for Photoshop. The fact is, Photoshop is not very CPU intensive. The GPU is much more important, along with a fast high capacity disk setup.

 

You want components that work together, in a balanced system. That's the main priority. It usually pays to pick components that have been on the market for six months or so, then the wrinkles will have been ironed out.
