Best PC configuration for Photo and 3D Work (Photoshop and 3Ds Max)

Important things for Photo and 3D work:
  • You need the fastest Processor possible
  • You need a lot of RAM (6GB Min) – You need 64 bit version of Windows.
  • Graphics card for Photo editing and 3D works like Photoshop and 3Ds Max are little different from gaming graphics cards.
    Graphics Options : -Nvidia Quadro 
    -ATI FirePro
    (Higher Config cards for Rs.20,000 like Nvidia Quadro 2000 are very good in performance)
    These cards are not good for Gaming.
  • You can also use gaming graphics card also like GTX 560 or ATI HD 6850. With this You can play games also, but gives lower performance in Photo and 3d works.
