Hello!

I'm about to pull the trigger on a Sony A7. Right now I've using a dell studio i5 laptop with 4gb Ram for my work with a Sony 5N 16mpx on raw with only lightroom 4.
With the A7 24mpx and to get advantage of a bundle with light room 5 and Photoshop elements, I want a new rig for photo editing and light browsing (social media for photo work). I need something that takes the least phisical space possible and quiet. I'll be using a led TV in the meantime I can get a decent monitor. Top budget of $800 us (if possible better, so I can get a flash!). What do you think of this? Any improvements? Or savings that I can make?
