Hi there, I just bought a rMBP 15.4, 16gb ram, 512ssd, late 2013 model.

I do a lot of raw photo editing on my mid 2012 13.3, 16gb, 240ssd, 750gb (switched out the optical drive) and it was working fine. I even worked off my thunderbolt 4TB external (which i got for cheap $200ish) via thunderbolt. I just want the graphics card in the 15 for high detail gaming as well as pushing it out to three external monitors.
 
I'm thinking of buying a 15 inch macbook pro, and was wondering which one to choose.
intend to use it for image editing.


2.0GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.2 GHz
8GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
256GB PCIe-based flash storage

8 GB or 16 GB of SDRAM?


or what do you prefer?

If you got the extra cash I'd get 16GB RAM. May not be necessary but nice to have
 
I bought this setup. will get it next week.
