Monitor Resolution: I'm not sure yet, still looking at my options. Probably between 1600x1200, 1680x1050, 1920x1080, 1920x1200 somewhere. Looking at 19” to 21”


Additional Comments: The main focus of this computer is 2d - painting large files with many layers for print, batch editing photos - and it has to do that really well, as well as having many programs running at the same time. I would like this computer to be able to run some autocad programs such as Maya, but it wouldn't be for production work, just learning the tool so it doesn't have to do it that well really, just minimally to get the hang of the program.

QUESTIONS: Can anyone help with completing this build or suggesting a comparable one? Parts that run quiet would be pretty nice. Of course I would like better value versus overkill performance.
