[Modding] Mini ITX - Parquet case for tiesos

Well that's what interests me, if you see that it's better to have more RAM than to buy a graphics card, because I've seen boards that run on power from a laptop transformer and thus eliminate the power supply.
Please look into it for me, I currently have a PC with a 1GB graphics card, 8GB of RAM, and an AMD x4 631 processor, and it runs Photoshop very well.

With Photoshop I have many doubts, because I don't know if it makes use of some type of graphic acceleration (OpenCL or Cuda) and if the Athlon 5350 or the Nvidia GT610 can take advantage of it.

What I have been able to see is that in terms of raw power, the Athlon II x4 631 is more powerful (the bench is from the 630 but they are very similar):

CPU Benchmarks - Compare Products on AnandTech
PassMark - CPU Performance Comparison[]=168&cmp[]=2195

So you won't improve or improve performance.

If you are still interested in it for the mod, consumption and other things, here it tells you how the performance of the 5350 scales according to the frequency of the RAM, although again in Linux and especially games, which is not what you are looking for but to have a reference:

DDR3 Memory Scaling Performance With AMD's Athlon 5350 - Phoronix

Anyway we are talking about a micro that performs between the Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad, with worse performance per core (but having 4 it is better than the Core 2 Duo), much better integrated graphics, lower consumption and more modern platform, like SATA3 to get good use out of SSDs (although I think that AMD chipsets don't come out well compared to Intel) and USB 3.0 among others.

It's up to you to see what demands you have and if you will be satisfied with something less powerful than what you had.

You've left me a bit unsure, because I don't know if I'm worse
I suppose the athlon micros are good for this motherboard

Which would improve performance

I was just told that with photoshop and 8gb it works very well
I'm going to put 16 and ssd,
Well and a comment on amazon that it's not even a micro or a motherboard for photoshop
