I do not game, zero zilch, don't even own one.
I do some light video processing, 90% of my use is Photoshop, and I'll occasionally stream 1080/720p video from the web.
The heart of my new build will be a SB 2500k .
If I don't "need" an extra GFX card, I'll just get a Z68 series board that can use the extra graphics power of the k series CPU, beef the memory up to 16Gb and just use the stock fan if I want to OC at all.
Is this a sound solution for trying to build a PS workstation for <$1000 ?
