Question

Adobe

Help me choose a budget platform (mother + processor) for more or less comfortable work in Photoshop (retouching, editing, photo printing up to A2 format)

Now I'm working from a Lenovo E420 laptop (core i5-2410M). Everything suits me. Need a desktop is not much worse.
The budget for the mother + percent + cooling \u003d 5-7 sput.
1. What to buy? What motherboard and processor will be optimal?
2. Can I save money and take AMD? Or not to show off and take a modern core i5?
Video preferably integrated.
THANKS TO ALL!
I collected a config on a bunch of i5 + mother from Asus on B75. Photoshop works smartly, as expected.

after 2 hours of "marketing research" I got this docs.google.com/file/d/0Bw21mBwEEIJQcEgtcWYwRHVtaFU/
oddly enough the best option is on i5-3330, and everything is right in Bryansk here - www.ciberland.ru/ru/
Case Ezcool R-120B black red led 350W mATX slim 1715
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-B75M-D2V Soc-1155 B75 DDR3 SATA3 VGA/DVI mATX 1950
Processor Intel LGA1155 Core i5-3330 (3.0/6Mb) OEM 5772
Fan Titan TTC- NK96TZ Soc-1156 490
DIMM 4096Mb DDR3 Crucial
1600MHz DIMM 4096Mb DDR3 Crucial
1600MHz DIMM 8192Mb DDR3 (kit of 2) Crucial 1600MHz CL8 Ballistix Tactical 2636

Total 16179

Answer 2

and you already have an ssd, because I judge by myself - how I put the ssd much faster in Photoshop, the work went, especially if there is not a lot of RAM.
For Photoshop, in my opinion, a large amount of RAM and a fast disk (i.e. SSD) are very important.
Of the processors, you will hardly see the fundamental difference. Judging by the rejection of a discrete video card, you don’t really play games, you can better look at amd, for example, AMD Richland or Trinity, and with fm2 and support for built-in video, there will not be many mothers to choose from.
Get an SSD+more RAM!

Not the topic, of course, the question, but if you already have a laptop and everything suits you, why the hospital?
