Newbie here so please accept apologies if I transgress and ask stupid questions. I'm and older (retired) bloke that's recently got back into digital photography. My current PC was very powerful 4-5 years ago but seems to stumble on some of the files I work on now.
I'm thinking of going back to Mac for graphics and am looking at the iMac 27". I don't want to spend money unnecessarily but would like a system to handle the following...
1) Running Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5 simultaneously.
2) I do end up with stitched panorama files of over 1GB in size.
Any thoughts from you Mac experts out there would be appreciated. As mentioned, I don't want to spend more than I need to but don't want to be disappointed with performance either.
Thanks

- So will 16GB of RAM be sufficient?
- Will the standard NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2GB GDDR5 do the job?
- Would the 3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz be adequate?
