    I need a new desktop PC and don't know what to buy. I need it to run Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS6, also do some video editing in the future. I have a monitor picked out, a DELL Ultrasharp 27inch.

    I was given a little bit of advice from a friend and this is what was suggested...

    on the pc front, try to get the following > quad core, 16gb ram, 2gb graphics card and and SSD boot drive.. if you have that then the rest is less important...

    Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance

    Intel Xeon E3-1230v3 Bx, LGA1150,
    ASRock H87 Pro4, Sockel 1150, ATX
    16GB-Kit G.Skill PC3-10667U CL9-9-9-24
    Samsung SSD 840 EVO Basic 120GB SATA 6Gb/s
    2 x WD Caviar Blue 1TB 6Gb's
    ZOTAC Geforce GTX 650 TI Boost Edition 2GB DDR5
    Cooltek Antiphon Black,

    LiteOn iHAS124-04
    3 x LogiLink SATA 0.9m Kabel mit Sicherungslasche,
    MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit SB-Version

    This is a machine i built for someone with graphic design using PhotoShop cs6, Illustrator, DreamWeaver, Flash Edge tools Animate, Reflow, Code etc will prob start using the video editing stuff a bit more before long

    Processor is good but not for overclocking.

    i could do with a nice machine for lab setups, vms, 16gb of memory but would this be overkill?

    If its just for VMS then no but which VM is VMware then 16 or 32 is better than 8 I would change graphics to the processor one I think its €30 more then try to get the 32 or even ssd for VMS. That would speed up vms
