    PC Build for editing & storage

    Hey guys. Started a PC build for the purpose editing & storing my pictures. I will be installing Photoshop Elements 11 to edit. Wanted some input to see if what I have will serve this purpose or if I should be exchanging some of these parts. I am completely new to all of this. I picked up my camera last year and am still learning a lot.

    MB: Asus P8Z77-V
    CPU: Intel Core i7 3770 3.4GHz
    Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16Gb DDR3 1600
    Primary Hard Drive: OC Z VTX4 128GB SSD
    Secondary Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 2T Drive
    Case: Thermaltake Commander MS-1
    PSU: Thermaltake TR-500

    Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

    Any minimum specs I should be looking at? I was under the impression that since I don't plan on doing any video editing I would be ok without one.

    Are you going to be using photoshop? If so, a decent video card will help with some things... as Photoshop will use hardware acceleration

    I'd get a five in one card reader to slip in that 3.5 slot under the two usb ports. specs all look good, never used an asus board but I'm sure it will be more than capable.
    Interest: night photography (loooong exposure), land-urban-night-scape, some portrait and action.

    Amateurs worry about equipment, professionals worry about time, masters worry about light.



    I can honestly say that there are two most remarkable men in the world today.     Michio Kaku is one, and I am the other. Between us we cover all knowledge.

    Kaku knows all that can be known....And I know the rest.

    Your processor has Intel HD4000 Integrated Graphics. In your situation, I would not bother with the video card.
    Ballistics and Patriot like this.
    Life is like a camera...... Focus on what's important; Capture the good times; Develop from the negatives; And if things don't work out..... Take another shot.

    My vision is perfectly fine. Tell me what I am not seeing then, since a video card is so widely recommended.

    Onboard memory cards generally have something like 100mb to 256mb of video memory. Some don't even have dedicated memory. They just allocate RAM to either data reading/writing, or video, whichever needs it.

    It's generally not the best option for photo or video editing, but if it works for you then more power to ya lol
