Hi fellow redditors

I am in the midst of building a hackintosh for my mother. She does basic web browsing, and is very into photography. Regarding photography I can envision her storing a shit-ton of photos and doing photo editing using Photoshop etc. I have been given a budget of $1200 CAD and have come up with the following build.

I was hoping if I could get some feedback on relative PC part performance to maximize performance.

Cheers!
