Hi john!

Depends on what kind of work you are planning to do. If you want to edit large images and work with big files in lightroom i would recommend a powerfull Xeon processor (The best one Lenovo has to offer in that model is the X3470)

If you only plan light editing u wont be needing anything else then a i5-650.

You do need an operating system to install software, i would recommend Windows but you can go with Linux aswell.
