Unifye Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I am currently saving up to get a desktop set up, but I am looking to build something that will have a dual use for gaming as well as photo editing. Are there any specific recommendations for what I should include or avoid? What is the consensus on curved monitors in regards to photo editing? I know they are big in gaming but I’m 50/50 on if I like them or not and definitely won’t get one if it will have any negative effect with photo editing. Can you even properly calibrate a curved monitor? Thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 COVID has really jacked up the prices. Especially when it comes to Video Cards. Expect to pay around $3000 for a decent gaming computer that also runs Photoshop well and about $350-ish for a display. Check out some recent threads, I’ve given some links to stuff. Here is my latest article / rant: Buying a Computer in 2021 As for a curved monitor.... ”Meh.” Personally I like a nice flat IPS-based display in 2021. 27” is a really good size. Anything larger is personal taste and bragging rights. I’d also make sure both the video card and display have a DisplayPort or HDMI port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
