Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP - this week

Budget Range: $1500-1800

System Usage from Most to Least Important: 3D graphics (Cinema 4D, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop)

Parts Not Required:
keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: ncix.com - I plan to order from them and have them do the build

Country: Canada

Parts Preferences: None

Overclocking: No

SLI or Crossfire: No

Additional Comments: I don't have time to wait for the 3930 to come out and need the power for some jobs now. Use will be 90% animation modeling, rendering and video editing - no gaming.

Am I missing anything? Do the cases come with enough fans etc. Thanks. Also, how long is it usually between ordering and shipping from ncix (assuming everything is in stock?)

I've noticed most requests like this get answers very quickly, but I posted over 24 hours ago and haven't gotten any replies. Is this more of a gaming build forum, or am I not asking the question correctly.

I'm more than ready to order my system and would really appreciate some expert feedback on my proposed build. Thanks.
