I don't know how other people deal with those issue's that's just what I do, and it's not so bad. And I almost forgot to mention that's on 16 gb of ram, and I think allot of people make maps with 8gb and even 4. I think it's like I said earlier if you have the money to spend why not, but if you don't theres way's around doing things on a lower end machine. I'm putting 32gb of ram in my new computer, with space to make it 64 if I find I need it down the road though I'm not sure if thats overkill or not. It will be interesting to find out how you're new computer performs because it sounds very similar to what I'm building, only I'm getting AMD not Nivida for graphics.
What AMD graphics card are you getting? Are you using Photoshop or something else? I was going to get a different card, but was worried as to whether or not PS would be able compatible. Any thoughts on this?
