I am on a tight budget and need to make a computer for around $1000. They already have a monitor so this price would be for the pc itself. They will be using it for 3d rendering and Photoshop rendering. They may use it for some video editing. This person is a professional graphic designer and would like the best they can get for the budget they are on. One thing to keep in mind is that they will not be using this to do any gaming.

To be totally honest, I really don't know that much about the ATI Firepro cards. I know that they are built for workstations and have shown to be quite useful when rendering and editing. Nvidia probably is a better choice in your case, as you said it is better with Adobe, but this person who started this thread was building a computer FOR a professional graphics designer, so I went purely with a workstation based card.I think it would definitely be a good idea to go with an ssd and 32gb of ram which will run your computer faster and smoother, but as a gamer I think of the gpu first.

This video compares an AMD FirePro V7900 vs NVIDIA Quadro 4000. It shows that in rendering the ATI firepro is faster. also i've heard that the AMD FirePro V7900 is equivalent to a radeon 7870 so it also can game at decent fps.

As for cpu's go, I wouldn't hesitate to go with amd's 8350. Yes it won't be as good as the 4770k in single-threaded preformance, but for editing and rendering, you will be multi-tasking and the eight-cores will be noticeable.

If you have in anything else on your mind im open to take any of your questions. Hope this helped :)
