Important hardware items for new pc

I want to buy a new PC.
Which PC components are especially important for a fast PC. I use PS CS6 + ACR 7 * for photo editing.
It is about an affordable PC (about € 800, -) .... not an expensive SUPER-HIGH-END
I think of eg:
Intel i5 or i7 .... what type
What video card? ....
Which memory + how many 8 ... 12 MB
Other important things ......
windows 7 of 8

Balance is important if you want to make the most of your $800.  Perhaps the Tom's Hardware builds would be a good place to start.

Except I just looked at the specs and was not altogether convinced, but they did qualify the build as being for Gaming.     Although I actually like 'gaming' focused systems for Photoshop type usage, so long as they use a single GPU.  Something to do with economy of scale, I suspect, but they seem to offer a lot of bang for your buck.
The $800 system in this list looks a lot better to me
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/build-your-own-pc-overclocking-hardware,3713.html
Don't worry too much about the thought of over clocking.  So long as your temperatures are kept under control, a sensibly pushed CPU is not going to lose significant lifespan.  And a lot of boards come with software that automatically ups clock speed only when needed.   There are free apps like Speccy that keep an eye on things for you, and MSI Afterburner that will keep the GPU fan ticking over until it is needed.  That last one is a biggy - my computer goes from a bearable hum, to "is there a hovercraft landing outside?" when GPU intensive tasks are performed.
The great thing about computers is that, being modular, they are so easy to upgrade as and when you can afford it.  So try not to fill all your RAM slots.  8Gb should be considered a minimum, and 12 or 16Gb would be better.  I used to be unconvinced by the need for so much RAM, but having to use my laptop for the last couple of weeks, demonstrated that 16Gb was most definitely OTT.
Think about adding a spare drive just for Photoshop Scratch, down the road.  Heck I'd give you one of you were local to me.
Windows 7 or 8????  Hmmmm....    Call me shallow, but I did quite like using Windows 8 on the laptop. although the upgrade to 8.1 caused me some hassle.  Then again, I think I am happier being back on my main system with Windows 7.  It feels cleaner and I don't have to keep flicking between the desktop and Start screens.
Perhaps the laspt word could be for you to run your short list by us before committing.  I found our NZ equivalent of eBay useful when researching my laptop as you can filter by spec, and shortlist by adding to your Watch list.  Whatever you get, you are going t love it with knobs on.  It's going to feel fresh, snappy, and a pleasure to use.

  • VM hardware specifcations for new SCCM environment

    Hi everyone,
    My company has decided to implement SCCM infrastructure for the first time. We will be running it in VM environment with understanding that if the VM server needs more hardware requirements we will allocate more resources to the VM(s). Our infrastructure
    will support up to 2000 client computers around the campus. Would you guys be able to recommend suitable VM hardware requirements for us to start building the VM environment? Is a separate VM server instance recommended for SQL installation? We probably won't
    be using the reporting feature but it might be something that we will look into in the future. What do you guys think? 

    I almost always recommend to run SQL locally on the same box, especially with environments of this size. For a nice guidance on the advised hardware have a look at this article:

  • Hardware question for new guy (you got to start somewhere)

    Hi,
    As the title states I am a complete novice so please bare with me. I'm confused about the correct configuration of the equipment that I have. So I'll start with what i have:
    Live 4 vocal harmonizer,
    Mackie 1202 VLZ3 mixer
    M Audio Profire 610 Firewire Interface
    New iMac Computer w/ Garageband & Logic
    Adam A7 Monitors
    The Profire 610 is new and I'm not sure how it works into the mix. Currently, I have my guitars and microphone going into the vocalizer. Out from the vocalizer and into the mixer. Out from the mixer to the monitors. I know the 610 should be connected to the computer via the firewire cable. What I am unclear about is where it fits in the above mix. It makes sense to me that it would come last to allow any effects/control to be recorded by the computer. Is that right? If so, this would mean that I would go out from the mixer and into the 610 interface? If this is the case, I would disconnect the XLR cables going into my monitors and insert them into the interface, and then buy 1/4 in to XLR cables to go from the line output of the interface back to the monitors. Does all that sound right?
    Also, I have a slight hum coming from the monitors at higher volumes. Is that normal or is there a way to reduce/eliminate that?
    Thanks so much for your help, I hope to be much more adept at this in the coming months.
    Thanks again,
    Charlie

    For the hum, I would suggest unplugging the speakers first (take the cable out of the speaker and not the mixer). Turn up the volume- is the hum still there? If so, you power may be an issue- you might want to invest in a power line filter. If not, then plug the speakers into the mixer- do you get the hum? If so, make sure that you don't have all the 12 channels cranked up (zero everything and start going through each channel to see if you get the hum- it could be a bad slider/pot or a power issue on the mixer). Keep going through each piece until you find the culprit.

  • Data Import from Excel for Items

    I have used the data import for items, in the past , to import the prices for existing item. I am using this for the first time in SAP version 9.0. There are new fields due to the additional currencies. In an running a test with two items and two price list codes, code 1 and code 10. When I run the import gets stuck in a loop and keeps giving me errors on line 1 with invalid price code.
    I want to import two price lists Price List 1 and Price List 10. For example I want price list 1 to be $10.00 and price lit 10 to be $5.00
    In the import from excel I have the following fields
    A  Item Number
    B  Price List Code
    C  Unit Price - Primary Currency
    D  Primary Currency
    E  Unit Price - Additional Currency 1
    F  Additional Currency 1
    G  Unit Price - Additional Currency 2
    H  Additional Currency 2
    I  UoM Code
    J  Price List Code
    K  Unit Price - Primary Currency
    L  Primary Currency
    M  Unit Price - Additional Currency 1
    N  Additional Currency 1
    O  Unit Price - Additional Currency 2
    P  Additional Currency 2
    Q  UoM Code
    I am using the following columns
    A item number
    B 1
    C 10.00
    J 10
    K 5.00
    This is the way I use this function in SAP versions 2007 and 8.8
    Any suggestions
    Dennis

    Hi Gordon,
    I tried what you suggested, but does not work. I tried with two items, when I run the import SAP gets stuck in a loop displaying error lines. The only way to stop is to restrt SAP.
    I attched a screen shot of the error

  • I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers.

    I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers. and both are on a stable wireless connection

    Logging into itunes store on each machine wth different Apple IDs is OK Autorising each others machines with the other Apple ID is OK. This is completley separate from Home Sharing
    For Home Sharing to work you need to
    File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share.
    You need to select one of the two Apple IDs you are using and ENTER THIS ON BOTH MACHINES WHEN CREATING THE HOME SHARE.
    Home sharing will then work

  • How can I add a new line item for production order?

    But if possible go to BAPI transaction , check for any production order's bapi for CHANGE purpose. Where you will be able to add your new line.

  • Capturing Detail Items for a Related List in a New Item Form

    I have a simple (ha!) requirement to capture Purchase Requests with the individual line items being captured in a separate List.  I have been using InfoPath, but will consider ANY solution at this point.
    If I have an Edit Item Form, I can have a Data View (LIst View Web part) that will display all related items in my Details List (using a filter on the Parent ID).  I can even add a Data Form Web Part below this to allow for the entry of a single itme
    at a time, and make the lookup field of the new item default to the ID of the parent item.
    All well and good for the Edit Item.  But if I want to do the same on my New Item Form, I am up the proverbial without a paddle because I do not have access to the ID of the Parent List Item (that is still being captured).
    So, using any of the standard SharePoint technologies (except Visual Studio), how can I create a New Item Form, in which I can enter items for a related details List and see those detail items already entered, all while capturing the original form?

    Hi Mike,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get the details of the related items in New Item form.
    I recommend to edit the new item form in InfoPath and use repeating table to display the related items based on the value in the lookup column.
    Here are the detailed steps:
    Edit the new item form(listB for example) in InfoPath and then add the related list(listA for example) including all the details you need as external data source to the form.
    Choose the secondary data source added in step1 in Fields panel and then expand dataFields, then right click d:SharePointListItem_RW and select Repeating Table to insert the secondary data source added in step1 as repeating table to the form.
    Right click d:SharePointListItem_RW in the Fields panel and select Rules, then click New and select Formatting in Rules panel.
    Click None under Condition in Rules panel, then select ID field in the repeating table in the first box, select is not equal to in the second box, then choose Select a field or group in the third box and select Main under Fields, then click the lookup field
    in the form and then click OK.
    Select Hide this control under Formatting in Rules panel.
    Thanks,
    Victoria

  • How to use XML Gateway for Order Import and Item Import?

    Hello XML gurus,
    I'm working in Oracle Apps area and do not have much knowledge on XML or web programming. Currently in my project there is a need to use Order Import and Item Import using interface tables and XML Gateway. The items/orders information will be in the XML format from Siebel system, there will be no custom processing...just process the data as-is.
    I've read the XML Gateway user guide but did not understand much.
    Anyone with similar implementation experience?
    I'm looking for a step-by-step guide on what needs to be done in Oracle Apps side to populate the interface tables from XML file and call the import APIs?
    Your inputs, suggestions, tips are highly appreciated. :)
    Thx,
    Jags

    I have a similar requirement to automate the order import and was looking at XML Gateway. Please update if you were able to find more information.

  • Apple has a problem and the cant solve it. I had some very important call but this new iphone just shut down on me and wont turn on i tried everything u can find in apple support nothing works for me. Anyone know what i can do?

    Apple has a problem and the cant solve it. I had some very important call but this new iphone just shut down on me and wont turn on i tried everything u can find in apple support nothing works for me. Anyone know what i can do?

    I would instead say you have a problem since nearly all IPs work as advertised.  IF you do have a bad phone, take it into an Apple store and get a replacement.  Hope you didn't jailbreak your phone though as Apple probably will tell you, you broke it, you fix it.

  • Importing excise details for an excisable item

    I want to import the Items through DTW. But these items are excisable items. Is there any seperate template for it. The item.xlt template does not have columns to enter the data like material type, chapter ID,Notification availed srl no.Assesment value for excisable items.
    How do I do it?

    This is really time consuming job to mark for 10,000 item excise details.
    You can insist your client to mark the Excise Information as and then he enters a transaction.
    Say for example your client is going to place a PO for 4 Items that are excisable, he can goto item master and mark excisable in Item Master and them generate the PO.
    You can follow the same process for GRN/ Invoice/ Quotation/ Sales Order/ Delivery/ Invoice.
    Over a certain period all your items would have been marked with Excise information.

  • MI02 : new items for a document with item already counted

    Dear.
    I try to insert new items for an inventory document.
    This document have items already counted.
    The system send this error message M7706 : Items already counted (no new items possible).
    Do you know a solution to avoid this error message ?
    Thanks.

    M7706 is a hard coded error message, you cannot control it via message attributes.
    What you can do is to do a re-count via transaction MI11 with reference to this inventory document. In this case you will be able to add new items, however, you have to enter the counted amounts for the existing items again.
    But in my opoinion it's easier to create a new PID as suggested by Jurgen.
