Hi,
I am currenlty planning a new built and woud like some feedback/suggestions from the community. I like ot upgrade componenets every once in a while, so future compatibility is important.
Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next month or so
Budget Range: $1,500
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Photoshop CS5, video editing, mediaplayer/server, gaming (starcraft/diablo)
Parts Not Required:monitor (Dell U2711), mouse, keyboard, speakers, os, and I have another thread on GPU (not included in budget):

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com, ncix.com, tigerdirect
Country of Origin: Canada
Parts Preferences:Have my eye on the Asus P8Z68 Deluxe Gen 3 (not set in stone), would like a modular PSU and to stick to ATX (but might need to go full tower). SSD for system/programs drive.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: 2560x1440 to 5120x1440
Additional Comments:I would like a quiet PC and something that stays cool since the case might be partly enclosed (desk design). I have sevral internal and external drives totalling >20TB, so no need for other data disks.
Thanks for your help
