Okay I haven't built a PC in a while at least 3+ years and I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and wanting to build a workstation versus a gaming PC.

 

I have , I have a 500 Watt power supply, I have the hard drives.

 

Requirements.

16 GB of RAM minimum

As many USB ports as possible

A minimum of 4- 6 SATA ports

 

This PC will strictly be for photo editing with lightroom and Photoshop

My PC is to the point where it's just too slow for importing and editing and swapping back and forth between Lightroom and Photoshop quickly.

 

$500 is average of what I'd like to spend if it's close to 600 I'll be okay I will be buying the parts over the next couple months

This PC will only be running Windows 7 I have no desire to switch to Windows 8

Even so, you are going to want gaming graphics cards to take advantage of CUDA cores.
