Approximate Purchase Date: This week. (the closer the better)
Budget Range: Around the 13000 kronor (€1500/$2000) mark After Rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Painting in Photoshop, Gaming, Surfing the internet.
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers etc. (Basically everything but the computer itself)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Any American site(s) like Newegg will do, it's mostly just a reference for the part/version.
Country: Sweden
Parts Preferences: 16 GB RAM and an i7 Intel Hyperthreading CPU for Photoshop (Because of the diabolic amounts of RAM and processor power CS5 uses when painting at 10000 x N resolutions)

Additional Comments: It's my first time building a PC, I'm aiming at running BF3 in ultra at 60fps, but I'm worried about compatibility issues.
