    Probably depends on what you do in Photoshop. I don't notice big slowdowns on old computers with new SSD and RAM. But you don't need to go crazy with it, 500GB SSD could be overkill in a computer you'll sell off in 2 years to someone who just wants to watch TV on it.

    GPUs on current $3K iMacs are crap, I'd wait. Apple's push to make everything thin fanless and mobile is becoming a mess for pro users when all the pro software moves to GPUs.
