Best value CPU for Photoshop

Would an I5 be a good CPU for Photoshop?

Anything modern will be great for that, don't really require "powerful" hardware.

Ryzen 1600 would be better in the same price range

I would go with the fastest clockspeed, alot of photoshop can be still single threaded, so go for highest turbo clock speeds(i believe this would be the i7 7700k)

Some aspects are multi threaded though, and some filters as well, so the 6/8 core ryzens are not a horrible idea either.
