Is there a gtx card that would work? I have read that the Quadra is fantastic and as far as work station builds, and that a gtx would be good and almost as good as a Quadra? Any truth to that? Just was trying to stay in the 2000-2500 high side.

you really need to say what you need included into your build. here is a setup that will be blazing fast for any kind of video rendering or photoshop work for years to come. its just under 2100$ and doesnt include mouse, keyboard, OS and monitor. those are all preference and you should have a budget of at least 300$ for all those components and software.

Hi, and thank you, I am trying to be around 2000.oo with a decent monitor, I know that limits me after reading myselt silly today, I havent built anything since 2006, so RUSTY.We need its main function is for photoshop, she has not tolerence for lag, I now have a ROG ausu g75vx which I thought would do since it had aa Nvidia 2gb graphics card, I7 3rd jen processor. anyway doesnt run as smooth as needed, its also a year old, and just not what she needs. so I really dont know what she needs, so I posted and want to see what you think I need, and what I should build, as I can find noone that sells a Photoshop enhanced desktop. ANY ideals with the info I have given? would be a blessing!
