[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1861478, member: 83420"] A warm welcome to Mac-Forums. Thank you for your post. Personal opinion here: 1. You need far more than 8GB of RAM. I would say minimum of 16GB - I would go for 32GB (which I did, see my specs). If it's a 27" iMac, then you can purchase this separately. 2. Go for best Processor you can afford. 3. 512GB for storage is small - BUT - you can overcome this by having a top quality External Hard Drive (EHD), 2-4TB with rapid transfer speeds to take most of your work (and more EHDs for the crucial backups you will need). That's for starters, but hold on because others may have alternative suggestions. Ian [/QUOTE]
