Hello! I am looking for a complete walk through on suggestions for a build that will do many things and have respectable longevity. I just do not know where to draw the line. Budget is reasonably flexible, would love to see it under 2K and really, if I would love to hit 1500.00 range, would make it even more in my budget, if functionality is not compromised.
What I do: -#1 I own a Hallmark shop and run all my invoices and records with my pc. Just lots of documents and files mostly for accounting purposes and bill payment. I use a Neat Desk to capture all documents. Eventually, would like to be able to view security cameras from work with my pc, once they are installed but this is not currently a priority, this year. Need to be able to pull up simple documents when the phone rings for a vendor with out crashing my photo editing programs, or freezing the pc up. I run my social media postings also while working, editing, and doing all at once, often.
#2 I have tens of thousands of photos, currently many on an external hard drive, due to the larger files sizes. I shoot raw and fine jpeg concurrently. Many of my finished files are huge. I do art shows, juried events, and sell my photography/digital finished products. Using Photoshop CS5 64 bit (needing to update), Bridge, occ Lightroom, and often Paint Shop Pro current edition and Painter. If I apply too many layers, I lose my work and have a crash.
#3 I already have monitor, an NEC MultiSync P241w and an Epson Pro Printer 3800(getting out dated but it works!) , need to have great graphics card so the calibration between the three is accurate. I am not a professional, but an aspiring amateur who has good luck in selling some pieces, winning awards, and love to play with my photos alot, althewhile working on my real work.....
#4 Speed is important, growth, or having the right first build is where I need help!!
#5 Burner drive to create discs with larger photo sizes would be lovely. I do light video editing. Also want to be able to play DVDs and burn.
#6 Memory to multi task important, as I usually run my editing to use up to 75% thinking it would run better?
--Looking to stay with Windows 7-8.1, been on XP so long, I have no opinion on these.
Help, my pc mother board has a glitch, and besides I was running on XP and need to move on.....Need guidance asap to get my work files back online before all my invoices are overdue! I am sure my hard drive is fine, and I have a mirror image of my last backup to put on a new build. Also, my photo files were also all backed up on an external drive, thank Goodness!
Thanks, and sorry for the wordy post and any expedited assistance!
