I am building a new rig for my wife. She does freelance 3D Animation from home and her laptop is getting on in age. Because we are upgrading from an older laptop, we need every part (case, monitor, keyboard, OS, etc...)

Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: Within a month or two

Budget Range: $1000 USD After Rebates/After Shipping

System Usage from Most to Least Important: AutoDesk Maya, Adobe Creative Suite, Online gaming

Are you buying a monitor: Yes

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: None

Location: Kansas City, MO USA

Parts Preferences: None

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe down the road

Your Monitor Resolution: Would like at least 1920x1080 or 1920x1200

Additional Comments: Her work takes up a lot of space. 1TB hard drive is a bare minimum. Ideally, we would like to add in a SSD in addition down the road but that is not needed for this build/budget.
