Short answer.
Buy a Gaming Desktop.
Swap a regular sound card for the pricey gaming sound card.
Sell the fancy sound card.
Use the money to buy a better Monitor.
Use Photoshop Classic.
Skip all the technical reading and comparisons to figure which computer does what from the test parameters.

Don't you mean Video Card instead of sound?

If you go to https://cpu.userbenchmark.com you can bench mark you old computer. Then you can "build" a computer and compare. For any of these new programs the most important parts are a really good video card with lots of memory and a NVMe M.2 Internal SSD. A mid range processor and 16 gigs of RAM will work just fine.

No no no, you want the high end video card for image editing.

Thanks for the positive comments. But benchmarking is measuring a distinct set of performance parameters and comparing them to other machines/configurations. Benchmarking does not accurately predict how it will affect your workflow. I've been at this for quite a while, and I can tell you that there are some superusers on this forum that can outperform anyone using a $10K PC or Mac on considerably more modest (and cheaper) equipment. The human element is the great equalizer. So a 20% increase in ALL measured performance parameters is not going to result in getting 10 hrs of work finished in 8 hrs. It's not aggression, it is just attaching some practical real-world parameters to the response to your question. Numbers matter in timed sports activities (sking, cycling, motorsports, running, swimming etc) but not so much in computers. I'm sorry if my comments made you feel uncomfortable - that was not my intent.
Here is a site that measures performance of individual components with specific software - which I think may be slightly more meaningful than a canned benchmarking tool attached to application software.
