For light photo editing and gaming focus, consider the i5-9600k with z390 motherboard. If you need more power and performance, the R5 3600 with b450 could be a better fit. The newer i5-10600k + z490 is an upgrade but costs more. Your budget will guide the choice—both options are solid for their price range. You can adjust based on what matters most.

I’d like a motherboard that includes a displayport and a Thunderbolt 3 connection, similar to what Titan Ridge offers, though I’m not sure if such features are available.

Approximately 1,200 to 1,500 USD should cover a board, CPU, PSU, RAM, and GPU. The setup includes raw photos with several layers, which often strain my laptop. This is mainly due to handling timelapse videos during projects.

I’d hold off on the Ryzen 4th gen, but if you’re already planning to go, a 3700x seems likely for what you mentioned.

You could easily choose the i7-10700k paired with a Z490 motherboard (available in the 150-190 USD range, especially with Thunderbolt 3 options). Another choice is the R7 3700, which is about 50-60 USD less but significantly slower and might be hard to find a suitable card slot.

It would help to clarify this situation. In Denmark, technology costs are typically 15-25% higher than elsewhere. I’m having trouble locating an i7-10700K and even see a website listing most IT stores under one platform. The i7-9700K is currently around 355 USD (2.903 DKK).

You might want to hold off on Zen 3 until you explore its features and decide for yourself. However, there are some important notes: the PCPartPicker list includes a few options worth considering. The B550 motherboard is available at a reasonable price, and you can upgrade with an expansion card for TB3 ports. For memory, the Ripjaws V 16 GB sticks are affordable, and the Seagate Barracuda 2 TB drive offers solid storage. If you're planning a larger build, the 3700X processor is an option, along with 32 GB of RAM. Prices on these items are shown with shipping, taxes, and discounts included.
