16GB is a massive amount of RAM! I usually shut down most other processes while working, if it starts lagging then Explorer goes too.

That's the thing, when working I also listen to music or podcasts and talk to people on facebook and skype to criticise my work as well so I can tweak it from time to time
So shutting everything down is not an option
For music, Foobar2000 is incredibly light, barely uses up any resources at all. Browsers use up a lot though..
I use spotify for music, easiest for me and well idk if i'll be working on large scale things like im doing now after I'm done with this year of school , so it's either new RAM memory or a second monitor , not sure yet
Just wanted someone else his/her opinion

Photoshop usually manages memory very well. I do a lot of massive work. If that drawing is 5000 x 3000 you shouldn't be having problems. Photoshop doesn't work with compressed images in memory, if you opened a blank page 5000x3000 the white pixels take the same space as colors, about 50 megs. Only when you save and it compresses the image does the pixel color come into play.
Undo history takes a big bite, you could turn down how many it keeps. (Under Edit/Preferences/performance probably)

its 7000x5000pixels big A2 paper size, And i cranked up the undo history because I tend to work on the wrong layer so I can still undo what I did wrong
