[QUOTE="gqtuazon, post: 282904, member: 6573"] Mike - although I would likely suggest something but I am only a mediocre in PC building. Like with our photography hobby, it is best to have a budget on how much you want to spend. I agree about the i5 and i7 CPU and 16 gb DDR3 RAM. I would suggest getting a Samsung or Intel Solid State Drive (SSD) that is more than 120 gb for your Windows. 2 TB hard drive (Your choice maybe Western Digital Black) for your data drive (pictures, videos and miscellaneous files). Start with a good power supply which depends on how many and what kind of video cards you want to buy. If you are using Adobe, stay with Nvidia video cards.
