Computer for web design?

Question

Iron

The question arose to upgrade the hardware, but the budget is 25-30k. In principle, I assembled it, even met 20k, on Ryzen 3 2200G + 8GB of RAM, there is no video card. Since the situation is absurd, I can take a steam bath about assembling a computer for Figma and Photoshop, but anyway, I want to make sure I take it right or not. The stone is like that, because I can still launch toys, I looked at the tests that I like under 60FPS FullHd launches, I don’t care about the rest. Well, in general, what is better to take an Intel stone or AMD to leave it like that, I chose between Ryzen 5 and 3, I chose 3 because. The test is ALMOST the same, but the price is cheaper. What characteristics to pay attention to when choosing a processor? The more, the better it is clear, but if the budget for the processor is 10-12k, then what would be more reasonable, thanks.

Answer 1

So. In order. Challenge: To be able to install and run PS and AI + Figma at the same time.
The first two are extremely demanding on memory. Budget - up to 30 thousand.
Solution - we refuse from Intel, since in production tasks (not in games) they are worse by conditional 10-12%. We take AMD. In view of your refusal of the video card, there is a choice between processors with an integrated video core.
Ryzen 3 or Ryzen 5.
Ryzen 5 is better than the trio due to the following parameters: the turbo boost frequency is 200 units more, plus 8 threads, instead of four on the previous generation processor.
The price is more than 3 thousand rubles. I believe that it is worth taking Ryzen 5.
Next.
You need to take 2 memory sticks with the Ryzen processor. You can take 1 for eight and buy another one of the same in a month. This will increase performance by 8-30% depending on the task thanks to (because of) the Infinity Fabric bus (which is a curve no matter what).
In total, I would take:
Ryzen 5 2400G BOX
8 GB Samsung DDR4 2400MHz.
ASRock AB350M-HDV
Chieftec TPS-500S / Thermaltake TR2-S 500W
1 TB HDD
Case for rent, for example, from Accord.
Further improvements: first of all, we buy one more memory chip. Absolutely the same as the first one. Next - SSD, on which we put the system and programs. After all - the video card. Limit - GTX 1060.
Total. This configuration will pull out all the programs at the initial stage, if you buy more memory and an SSD, you will get a good configuration, which is enough to work for another 5-6 years.
If you buy a video card, you will be able to play any AAA project in FullHD at least at medium graphics settings for the next two or three years.

Answer 2

I’ll throw in a couple of thoughts:
a) 8 GB of memory is not enough, you need 16 for normal operation.
b) don’t care about the processor (within reasonable limits), I’d rather take care of buying an SSD.

Answer 3

With current prices for a new one, I would look to China
Mother: HUANAN V2.49 LGA 2011 https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/HUANAN-V2-49-X79-LG... - 7000r Proc
:
Intel Xeon E5 1660 V2 6 cores 12 threads 3700 MHz - https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/Intel-Xeon-E5-1660-... - 11300r
Intel Xeon E5 2680 V2 10 cores 20 threads 2800 MHz - https:// ru.aliexpress.com/item/Intel-Xeon-E5-2680-... - 12500r
E5 1660 v2 is more productive per core and overclocking is possible, and E5 2680 V2 has more cores, there is no overclocking (set it and don't sweat it).
Memory 4x4GB 1866 MHz https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/Samsung-DDR3-4GB-8G...- 4200r (almost one ddr4 die costs). On 4 channels of memory it will work about as fast as 2 channels of DDR4.
Need more vidyuha, tk. zeons do not have iGPUs. You can buy on the same Ali GTX 750ti (and you can play), iGPU level from Ryzen 5 2400G and GT 1030. https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/ZOTAC-GeForce-GTX-7... - 3800r
Total: 27500r. You can take a processor cheaper, for example, Intel Xeon E5 1650 6-12 3200 MHz for 7200 rubles, or XEON E5 2665 8-16 2400 MHz for 6700 rubles.

Answer 4

At one time I was building a computer for 2D design, it turned out like this: i7-6700, 16gb ddr4, ssd. Intel's built-in vidyuhi is not enough to render pages in chrome with animation (especially when you watch projects on jehanse, where there are a lot of videos and heavy gifs, scrolling was less than 1 fps) and animation rendering in Photoshop (freezes when dragging artboards and sometimes zoom) . Slow animation was even in the Sketch interface after switching to hackintosh. I don’t know how Ryzen is doing, but it’s worth listening to the theorists of the built-in video card with at least great skepticism, but it’s better to immediately take an inexpensive video card.
Nothing will give such a performance boost as ssd, without it, any configuration is not viable. If there is an ssd on which the graph stands. editors, you can get by with 8GB of memory if you don’t plan to work with at least a dozen artboards loaded with raster graphics.
