So after about 15 years of Macs, it's time for a PC. (Please don't get me started on the whys - it's just the right time for me to spend my money on PC stuff instead of Apple).
I'm so out of touch with PCs I don't know what to prioritise - RAM, processor, GPU, or do I want one of those flashy M2 drives?
Requirements:
Where should I focus my money?

Requirements:
- Photoshop & Lightroom *fast*. I edit D800 raws all day long. Lag is not good.
- Would be nice if it can also process video files but I don't do much and overnight renders are fine
- QUIET - not silent but I don't want to share my study with a jet engine
- Reasonably good at numbers - I tend to do quite a bit of Excel work and some of the data gets quite big/complex. In fact if I could run a SQL Server d/b locally that would pass some winter evenings.
- Not hideous - some of those gaming machines are ridic.
- Don't want to build my own. Happy for somebody good to do it for me though.
- I guess I need about 2 TB of slow ish storage, 250GB for apps and 500gb for quick storage.
