8 Cores should be good for Large Scale photoshop use right?

16 GB DDR3 or should we wait for DDR4?

depends on your time frame. If u wait for that DDR4, u most likely gotta get a compatible Motherboard as well. Im not 100% sure but i dont think they have any compatible motherboards out yet that support DDR4.

DDR3 is fine.
i have 12gb of DDR3, 1600 mhz. it's overkill.
i used to have 16gb but a ram stick died.

I want to get into Garry's Mod but I just don't understand how to unleash its potential. All I do is set up huge battles against good and bad guys

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1LOx7 - Reddit's "Enthusiast" build ("The following can do it all. It will run any game out there on the highest of details, assuming you aren't doing something insane like multi-display 1440p.")
Might run with this build or tinker with it and see what I can do and ask for some advice, my budget isn't far off, but I'll still wait for it to drop back down to the price reddit pegged it at ($863.89) to try. I wish I knew more about PCs and PC building (wattage, what goes with what as far as parts, etc.)
Steam Summer Sale gave me that work though, I wonder how Autumn will go
