Hi there! I am thinking about building my first PC, which will be mainly used for photo and video editing (Photoshop, Lightroom and Adobe Premiere Pro / Davinci Resolve).
Can you advise on what would be the best key components for such a build? (GPU, Processor, motherboard, monitor...)
My thought at the moment is that I should probably invest most of my budget in the processor (i9-13900k?) and then just get an "okay" GPU (maybe something from the Nvidia 30 series, or low tier 40 series, even something used??) since photo and video editing programs wouldn't really get the most out of it anyway.
Don't really have a clue about what motherboard would be best for the use the PC is going to have. Happy to hear suggestions and things to look for.
Finally, what would be good monitor options for color fidelity, within a reasonable budget of ~ $300?
Is there anything else that I should keep in mind when building a creator PC?
Cool, I checked out your other link! I liked the 4070TI choice, its a solid card price performance wise. I'm gonna argue with you from here so you can be sure what you want :)
Let me make you a counter offer

Are you sure you want a 13900K? I think the 13700K is enough in most cases, maybe get a better GPU from that budget save.
I cut the RGB ram and instead opted for a more reasonable priced one. I also added a different cooler around the same price point from a reputable brand. I cut down the Motherboard, do you need wifi? Big cut in the storage department, this one I'm not sure what you need. In theory the smaller 2TB SSD should be enough for normal projects, with the added HDD used for completed projects, but if you're a big data cruncher you might want to revert that, since your original SSD had a bit more performance, be it at a higher price point. I cut down the Power supply, I think 1200W was overspecced. I chose a different case cause 300€ seemed arbitrary high, but leaves you with plenty of room to build. I added some case fans. I chose a higher resolution monitor over refresh rate.
You could from here either save the money from the churning or invest it in the 4080 that's why I left both gpus in the list.
