Need Small Desktop for CS6: dual hard drives; Good Video Card; 12 - 16 GB ram


i have been searching smaller desktop since mine heavy , need able transport it. planning on upgrading cs6, need compatible video card.

 

i have several files open @ once, , many layers. hobbiest, serious editing , manipulating photos. need run lightroom , have few other programs open such web browser.

 

i prefer company known reliability , decent customer service , hope keep price range under $2,000. right limted laptop elements 10 , getting desperate. consider reliable online business builds suit. not tech savy or able build own.

 

is if possible find small desktop video card capable of handling cs6 can do, , 2 hard drives? best use second hard drive scratch , use external drive store photo library or working photos on external drive slow things down?

 

i want stick windows 7 pro, 64 bit, if have buy copy , reformat new drive install it. because win 8 new comfort level. have enjoyed win 7.

 

is there problem small form desktops , heat/cooling?

 

i need new monitor, that's different topic!

 

 

if can throw suggestions @ me appreciate it!

i have no specific recommendations, given 2 grand budget can well.  things consider.

 

  • 16 gb ram good, more if can.  recommend opting ecc ram if possible increased reliability.  pay error correction; pay first time don't have crash or corrupted document.

 

  • opt big ssd storage, maybe 2 in raid array, run everything.  avoid spinning disk drives entirely, if you're transporting it.  idea of premium price should demand, right if watch sales can get, e.g., 256 gb ssds little $160.  few weeks ago bought ocz vertex 4 256gb drive christmas present amazon @ price.

 

  • consider motherboard based on intel i7-3xxx series processor has both lots of cores , fast core speed.  these ranking high on performance charts single processor systems , run photoshop extremely well.

 

  • all need photoshop decent not exorbitant "desktop/gamer" video card $100 $200.  1 @ least 1 gb of vram.

 

  • you're going want optical drive in - keep in mind blu-ray writer can put 25 gb on disc.  having occasional ability write disc large amount of data on can handy, , they're not hugely expensive more.

 

good luck.  let know find.
