Backing to the cloud is good but you should also back to another hard drive or usb stick too. You can probably do that automatically with a $20 usb stick [they go by many names, thumb drive, dongle.]
I use Photoshop Elements. We have a nice monitor 24" with integrated speakers.

Love my mouse!

Spend.....$600 to $700 is fine.

I also have an external hard drive that I use for backing up, as well as thumb drives.

I do appreciate all responses and guidance!
