Hello everyone, I thank you for all the time and answers to previous posters. I've spent a lot of time here reading and learning. I wasn't going to post my build or ask for advice but changed my mind this morning while back here reading and learning more.
The listed parts are already in route so if I've made a major faux pas or there's a different part that I should consider then I'll deal with it after hearing your feedback. Total cost was just over $1,300, with shipping from NewEgg.
My main use will be Adobe CS5 and World of Warcraft. I know this is overbuild for WOW (the only game I play) but wanted a build that would allow me to use the GPU-accelerated performance in Adobe Premiere Pro. There are few Adobe-certified GPU cards for this, here's the link

Without getting into the Quadro cards I only had two options. I've seen some comments about hacking other cards to to allow this but don't want to get into this myself. I think would reach beyond what i'm comfortable doing.
I have the basics; mouse, keypad, moniter, speakers, printer. They are fine, but I might retire one of my two moniters for a new one.
I'm not sure about overclocking at this time but want to look into it more. How much will it help for these uses?
I'm keeping my options open on the adding of a second video card at a later date.
I am not a computer tech but do know more then the general public and have no worries about building this myself. I look forward to your feedback, good or bad, thanks.
