Help review my PC workstation build list, please and thanks.

Hell I still gotta pay for software. That's where they -really- get ya.

So by this, I take it your typical pirated copy of PS-6 will not do?

Good heavens! PS-6 are pirated by people?!

Cads and bounders I say!

In all seriousness, while I like to say in reality, Adobe probably doesn't really care if people pirate Photoshop, as long as you're not making any money out of it. And that they only really care when you start using it in a commercial way.

Unfortunately, we also live in a kind of world where this can happen.

I use to give Adobe somewhat more leeways in the past. Nowadays and increasingly, not so much. They and other companies are moving more and more into 'cloud subscription' model base, and even though you can still buy a physical backup version. I reaaaaly dislike this trend, how most companies do it (badly), and I find it disturbing for the future.

Looks like this machine will have the last version of PS that I will buy from a brick and mortar re-seller.
