scooter, how about one of these?
New XPS 8900 Desktop
I would think either of the middle ones will probably suit you. - both have an Intel i7-6700 chip, 16GB DDR4 ram, a 24" Dell Ultrasharp monitor, and a 1Tb hard drive. The hard drive is the only draw back in my estimation, but the thing to do would be to watch for sales of external hard drives which can be accommodated in one of the USB 3 ports ( just watch the quality of sale items). If you run out of ports on the computer, then you can buy a peripheral that has a number of ports in it (usually 3 to 7) and plug this "extender" into one of the existing USB 3 ports and away you go - more USB 3 ports (I have two of these). The only thing that you then have to do is buy any additional processing software (CC - Lightroom, Photoshop) for the machine. Any software you have (Elements) should probably run on this machine.
