Hi, I am attempting my first computer build. This system will be used mostly for photo editing using photoshop cs5. Maybe some light gaming also. My budget is around 1500.00 not including monitor, keyboard, and software other than the operating system. Plan on using Windows 7. I'll be buying most of my parts from microcenter. Do these parts seem reasonable? I don't plan on overclocking. More interested in stability.
