mrs.cos Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, you are going to want gaming graphics cards to take advantage of CUDA cores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Edit, I just realized you have the HDs, and PSU, so the kit below probably isn't as nice. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1327036 $500 after rebate, use rebate to buy extra RAM. Wait for killer GPU deal on slick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
