[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 282876, member: 13090"] Ha... It takes me weeks to put together a fresh build from the ground up. That being said, just about anything packing an Intel Core i5 or Core i7 processor and 16GB of DDR3 is going to hold you over just fine. Photo processing is not a particularly demanding process for a PC. Unless you're doing something so totally insane with Photoshop I can't even imagine... Even then, an i5 and 16GB of RAM is going to be pretty snappy. My only other suggestion: [B]Dual hard drives[/B]. Keep Windows and other applications on the master-drive (C:), while the slave-drive (E:) holds nothing but data. You want to keep your data OFF the drive that contains the operating system so if (when) Windows "tanks" on you, your precious data sits calmly, and safely, away from the havoc.
