Photo Editing PC Builds
Build a Photoshop PC with AVADirect

Creating captivating photography and illustrations has never been easier with the latest from the Adobe Suite. Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom has become an integral part to every photographer's list of equipment. Like video editing, adding interesting effects and exporting your newly created photos taxes most of the components in your photo editing PC. Your processor and amount of RAM will have the largest effect on how smoothly and quickly your chosen applications run. Luckily, photo editing isn’t quite as taxing as video editing or animation, so you can skip out on the higher end CPUs and opt for extra memory and storage. Check out our Photo Editing PC builds below.

Video Editing PC Builds
Custom PCs optimized for Video Editing Software such as Adobe After Effects, Premiere, and DaVinci Resolve

Editing your timeline, adding interesting effects, CGI and rendering that all into a complete video puts a strain on every component in a workstation. While each software suite has components listed for video editing pc specs, these are recommended minimums to run the program, not run it efficiently. Your choice of CPU reigns king when building a video editing computer, with RAM being a close second. You’ll also want plenty of storage space to store your OS, original footage, and newly edited footage. Read our blog about building a workstation PC for Adobe After Effects to learn more!
