hey guys,

I have two mac refurbished mac pros. a 1,1 mac pro that I upgraded and a 2008 mac pro 3,1 that I also upgraded. Im actually thinking of getting a 3rd mac pro because I do a lot of photography and video editing and want more power. But im actually tired of upgrading macs right now and would like to purchase a new mac now either mac pro or new mac book pro for.


Just want something out of the box with power that can handle photoshop and final cut pro x plus be able to edit 4k footage.. can a refurbished mac pro handle this or is it time to get a new machine.


thanks..
 
any upgrades maybe I should do. ive added wifi card, new harddrives.. I currently have a 3 tb boot drive and a time machine 4tb drive. also installed 16 gigs of ram to machine. SSD is secondary drive...

SSD should be boot drive if you want the best performance.
