In that case an i7 will definitely be good. But there's something even better - Xeon. It' s basically an i7 without integrated graphics (which you don;t need anyways).

R7 250X is more than enough for photoshop.

 

[Amey408]

Thanks again.

i didn't find Antec VP5000 i think it's typing mistake it should be Antec VP500 if i am not wrong, second thing is how M.2 Socket 3 (in SSD) help in performance.

Is stock CPU cooler is sufficient?

A quick correction there.. there are Xeon available "with" integrated graphics.
Intel Xeon E3 1245 v3 which comes with Intel® HD Graphics P4600.

ARK | Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1245 v3 (8M Cache, 3.40 GHz)

yes u r right but i am going to buy graphic card so should this processor will help in performance.

No, not in case if you buy Graphic Card. But in case anything happens to GFX, it's always good to have a fallback. I probably can never buy a CPU without dedicated graphics.

But I guess a CPU dedicated to number crunching without any graphic capability is probably going to be better than a CPU with graphics. Wait for more suggestion on this.

if the price difference is not much, get e3 1245v3.it is a higher clocked version and does have igpu which might come handy when your gpu gives up.

True. Forgot this.

Guy's Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1245 v3 (8M Cache, 3.40 GHz) price nearly 22-22.5k, Intel® Core™ i7-4790K (4.0GHZ) price is nearly 23k and Intel i7 4790 (3.6GHZ) is nearly 22k so what is your final opinion on this.

1245 V3 is available for 22.5k. See here - Search : xeon

I'd still prefer Xeon.

one more question my friend wants to install one storage server in future to save his photoshop and 3d max files (all five users will work from this server).so should he need same config for server or should it be ok with 25k budget pc (without monitor and keyboard/mouse) this server stay ideal all day.

Thanks

Difference between Asus B85M-G and Gigabyte GA-B85-D3H? Which is better?

 

[Amey408]

Hey guy's i find one excel file from intel site which is regarding the ram (Can't able to attach it here) so plz check it from this site *www.intel.co.uk/content/dam/www/pu...mory-for-intel-core-processors-datasheet.xlsx in this file i didn't see my current selected Matherboard & Processor just one question can Kingston hyperX fury support my Asus B85M-G motherboard because on Kingston official site doent show B85 chipset in Compatible motherboard list plz check following link for the same HyperX Memory Certifications | Kingston.

if its true then plz suggest me any other mobo. in same price range.

Note: - Not looking for OC.

 

[rijinpk1]

it will work. just that the ram will underclock to 1600mhz. compatibility list may not contain all devices which are compatible as there are many of them on the market.

not much difference. the price comes into play. and gigabyte is doing a bad business by cutting down some components of their mobo and sellling then with old name keeping the same revision.
