Hey Everyone, I'd love some advice on configuring this thing I'm about to order.

My every day apps are:

Photoshop
Auto Cad
Vector works
ESP Vision
QLAB 4
LightWright 6
Numbers, Pages, Keynote

I also typically have lots of these open at once.

At first I was thinking I need to max this thing out, and then I realized I was just being that guy who maxes everything out with out thinking about my usage. My current machine is a 2012 Mac Book Pro retina with i7. The hard drive is full and has been quite a bit of time. But that 1TB price is just too steep for me. I do have a LaCie 500GB SSD USB 3/Thunderbolt drive that I could use? Correct me if I'm wrong but that's pretty fast but not USB - C fast correct? Sorry for my confusion on the matter. Thanks for any advice in advance.
