hello reddit! my neighbor who is also a pro photographer wants a new computer and doesnt want to shell out a big 3000$ for the new mac pro. so since i already built one he asked me to help him build one. he'll be mostly using it for aperture and photoshop. he'll be mostly using the ssd as a boot drive and be working on it and have a external HD to back it up. wanted to post it here for feedback. if the components i chose are wrong for a photographer please tell me!
