Value Plus Photography PC

Incredible value PC for the semi-professional photographer

Updated 01/02/2024.

Our Value Plus Photography PC offers a significant step up in performance.  Firstly it includes the same high quality chassis with internal sound proofing material and excellent cooling while remaining whisper quiet.  The chassis is neat and is of a professional design yet has excellent airflow to keep high performance components cool.

 

This system also offers a step up in processor performance by including the 14th Generation Core i5-14400F.  These Core i5 14th generation processors offer significant performance benefits over the older 12th and 13th generation by improving efficiency of instructions processed at a given clock speed.

 

The GPU is also a significant upgrade as it is an 8GB graphics card with high performance RTX 3050 GPU.  It is also able to output in 10-bit colour for exceptional colour accuracy.

 

The superb 1TB M.2 SSD drive is an upgrade from that in the best value system.  This is an NVMe M.2 drive which offers very high performance.  There’s space for your OS, applications and working scratch image area on this primary (C:) drive.  The secondary (D:) drive gets a capacity upgrade to 4TB.  Use this to archive your image catalogue.

 

Audio performance is also enhanced by the inclusion of the high definition  audio chipset with 7.1 output and high quality audio circuit.
