    Have you already maxed out the RAM on your MacBook? Might be a cheaper/easier option, unless you're just wanting to build one for the heck of it.

      Well, sort of, more the fact it starts to scream at me when I'm working on large files in photoshop and then starts becoming really slow to work with.. I've not figured out if it's a RAM problem just yet. But it does start to overheat..

        MacBooks tend to get hot in general and the fans can be loud, but I've never actually seen one overheat from too much processing. How much RAM does yours have? I really think you would see a big difference with that maxed out. I'm assuming that you have an SSD since you have a retina, but definitely go for that as well if you don't.
