Hi all,

I'm in need of an adequate workstation for mainly Lightroom and some Photoshop. I'm discussing the CPU separately on the relevant thread so I would just like a general opinion of the overall system. This is my first time building one so I would like to know if all the parts should work properly together, and if there is any part over or under-powered relative to the whole system.

Thanks
