Hello all,
I will be building a rig for a customer who wants it primarily for Window 10pro & photoshop work (semi-pro), and would like opinions on the current state of the software, in terms of multi-core/thread capabilities, memory/scratch disk usage, and graphics needs for the best performance overall, so I put his money to best use when buying the hardware components. I am not looking for specific hardware recommendations, but rather opinions on what PS will need to work most efficiently without going overboard.
At this point he has stated he will want to keep the rig for 2-4 years, but has not given me a specific budget, so I will have to put together 2 or 3 lists of parts at various price points to see how much he wants to spend vs. what he will be getting for his money, while also factoring in my fee for the work into the final price too....
Although I am an accomplished rig builder, it has been a long time since I last used photoshop and am not up on it's current state of affairs so to speak. And yes, I have prime accounts at da 'Zon & da 'egg and a few other places, and know how to use pcpartspicker.com
All input appreciated !
