Hi All. Thanks in advance for any help on my first PC build.


Here is my Parts Picker List - https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Raikkonen44/saved/BKNkwP


Looking for a higher end build but definitely under $2000cdn - so anywhere to lower price a bit would be great. No gaming. Working in Excel (budgeting workflow) & Photoshop is getting quite slow on my current PC.


Main questions:

  1. Is my CPU choice is overkill?
  2. I am getting a GPU only for Photoshop work, so would like to keep it basic and as cost effective as possible.
  3. Want to use max Cooler setup in the Terra to ensure no overheating and keeping it as quiet as possible.
    1. Advice on the cooler
    2. Do I need a 2nd fan somewhere as well?

Thanks!
