AnandTech Forums: Technology, Hardware, Software, and Deals

Hello All,

I have been really out of the market and was planning to build a powerhouse desktop last year but kept getting delayed. I have now set a budget and need some direction. Computer will mainly and only be used for heavy work in photoshop, lightroom and other editing software for photography. I hardly play any games at all.

Should I consider Ryzen threadripper build or Intel i9? My budget is 3k-3.5k Canadian but not more than that.

I would very much appreciate your suggestions as I am hoping to start the build asap.

Thank you all.
