BUDGET RANGE: around $1000
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: 3D Applications, software devolpment, gaming of course
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg.com
OVERCLOCKING: No
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: Just something high enough to look pretty
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I work in the film and visual effects industry and sometimes do work at home, so I need a new rig that can store a large amount of data and handle a fair amount of multi-tasking. Would like to take a drive with Crysis and Diablo III too.
I have done a good amount of research but this is my first build ever, so I am definitely open to suggestions. I don't want to break the bank, but would like the box to last me 4-5 years as my current one has since 2005.
