Acer Aspire ATC-220-EB52 Desktop (Refurbished)- AMD A10-7800 3.5GHz- 8GB DDR3- 1TB HDD- AMD Radeon R7 Graphic- Windows 10 Home 64-bit- CAD$ 409 + 13% taxI am considering this for a general purpose desktop + Adobe Lightroom use. Will add an SSD to speed up. Thoughts?My current Adobe Lightroom computer is a Mid 2013 MacBook Air and it works reasonable well. The CPU & Graphics in the AMD A10 is better so the overall performance should be better (assuming Windows & Mac versions are similar).Is this line of thinking accurate? Happy for alternatives or even a build recommendation within the same budget. Thank you.

As for another option, here's a build using an Intel CPU. Personally, I'm not a big fan of AMD CPUs, I haven't had a good experience with them. Here's the link to the PC part picker list. Again, everthing's off Amazon. I'd personally go with this Intel build over the AMD build I mentioned. The i3 6100 has a benchmark that is slightly above/better than the AMD A10 7800. Regardless, both these builds should do what you need.CPU: Intel Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor  ($126.28 @ Amazon) Motherboard: MSI B150M Pro-VD Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($60.54 @ Amazon) Memory: Crucial 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory  ($41.99 @ Amazon) Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($47.99 @ Amazon) Case: Rosewill Galaxy-03 ATX Mid Tower Case  ($29.99 @ Amazon) Power Supply: CoolMax 400W ATX Power Supply  ($23.22 @ Amazon) Other: Windows 10 Home 64 Bit OEM DVD ENGLISH  ($75.99 @ Amazon) Total: $406.00Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
