Additional Comments: Windows 7 Professional, DVD-R/CD-R, at least 1GB hard drive space, will be running World of Warcraft, Photoshop CS3, Adobe Preimere, Starcraft 2, Star Wars when it comes out (needs to be able to handle that in Spring 2011).
Normally I build my own CPU. It has probably been about 6 years since I've built a new computer for myself. I have actually been able to run and do what I need with my current system just fine. It could be a bit faster but ultimately I needed to ugprade. After going over the costs to upgrade my current system, it was decided to look at purchasing a new system.
Currently I have been able to find for $1200 is a system from Dell. Normally the only thing I purchase from them is my Laptop, mainly because through work they have treated me right with my business account and repaired or handled my issues within 24 hours. I started to look at piecing it out to create it without going through them but I'm not too up to date on which hardware tends to play nicer with each other. Back when I greated my GigaByte system it had specific requirements with my Mushkin RAM and a few other components, which made it function and perform better than generic counterparts.
Processor: Intel Core i7-870 processor (2.93 GHz)

Hard Drive: 1.5 TB Raid 0 (2x 750GB SATA 3GB/s 7200 RPM HDDs)
Optical Drive: 16x DVD-R Drive
Sound Card: THX® TruStudio PC
Am I going to build something comparable and save a $200 or something at the same price range that would be superior?
