Hi all,
I've never built a PC before and need a new one. It will be pretty much used for photoshop and a tiny amount of gaming. I don't need a monitor.
I only edit photos and do no video editing, I believe hyperthreading in photoshop is mostly used in video editing.
As a complete novice i've not really much idea where to start
I'd like to get the best bang for buck fast as can be system for around $1500 ( will be purchasing parts from either newegg or micro-centre)
SSD is a must, I want the system and any progs to boot quickly and will probably ( advice appreciated) use another for a photoshop scratch disc - i've read the OCZ Vertex 4 is pretty quick and there are good deals at the moment on ssd's.
i want a minimum of 16gb ram but a mother board that can take 32 if I feel the need to stick more in.
I've no idea about the rest of it !!
any help gratefully received !
cheers
