PC Spec
This is perhaps the oldest PS question but the answer keeps changing! I have currently a PC which I use for photo editing alongside LR. The current spec is a 6 core AMD FX6100 cpu clock speed 3.3Ghz - 24GB RAM Quadro K2200 GPU (one of the Adobe recommended GPU's) all on an Azus MoBo M5A99X EVO R2.0. The operating system is Win 10 64 bit and the SSD where the programs are is a Samsung 860 EVO 500GB. All the data files are on a separate Seagate 2TB SSHD SATA drive. I have tried moving the scratch disc around but it made no difference (there are other drives on the pc with space)
I have followed all the recommendation for performance improvement on this site (and others) but the refresh rate after making an adjustment is very slow (over 5 seconds in some cases) so following fine adjustments is very difficult. All the analysis software checking performance suggests my system is around the 45% average for a similar system.
I only use this PC for photo editing emails and the occasional Word / Excel operation (Office 365).
I am considering an upgrade but given that my current spec is, in theory, well beyond Adobe recommendations, I would like some guidance as to what I should upgrade my system to. I will build it myself but suggestions would be most helpful.
