Looking to build a machine that is solely focused on managing and editing photos with Lightroom and Photoshop. Only other use will be normal web browsing.

Here is a link http://pcpartpicker.com/user/hofmania/saved/3a9Y

Couple questions I'd like to get answered...

1. Are dual SSD hard drives necessary? I read a few different builds that used them creatively to keep all the work streams running smoothly.

2. Do I need a graphics card? If yes, what can I get away with? Will this be a bottleneck in the system?

3. Anything that jumps out at you and says, "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!"

Thanks in advance!

Yes it is a video card. You do not need a cooler unless you are overclocking. You also need a case to put these in, that's another $20 for a cheap one. You probably only need 8gb of RAM.

Is the 7870 a video card (guessing based on a quick search)?

Just did some more poking around and it appears that i'll be good to go with just one SSD for OS processing and a short term memory.

Anywhere else I could save some $$$?
