This is the machine i'm thinking about it getting, with the 16 GB RAM, can anyone advise me on which NVIDIA graphics card is best and ATI graphics and general opinions on this machine?

 

I will primarily be running 3DS Max with Vray and Photoshop, InDesign etc.

 

Thanks.

For Photoshop you have more than enough with a GTX 660 and a HD 7750 should be fine. You can even get away with the build in HD4000 in the 3770K.

For 3dsmax. If you have large models you might have a look at higher end GPU's, for example a GTX 660 (ti). An AMD GPU costing the same should be even better in viewports performance. If your models are very,very large models you might take a look at a professional GPU.

 

PSU is overkill.
