PURCHASE DATE: This weekend (5/10/09)
BUDGET RANGE: aiming to spend around $1000 (a little over won't kill me if the performance gain is worth it)
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming - work with cs4 (mainly PS / illustrator) - I dabble with vid editing as well.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard / mouse / monitor
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.com (others welcome as long as reputable)
PARTS PREFERENCES: No preferences
OVERCLOCKING: No
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe (not really necessary for the games I play at the moment but I'd like to keep the option available)
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1024x768 or 1280x1024
The main goal of the build is to be able to fraps during WoW and other MMO's without lag and being able video edit / work when I'm not owning. I'm not overly concerned with being able to upgrade this system over time, just need something to get the job done for a year or so.
Your input is appreciated
