Hi all,
I do a lot of programming, video editing and need something that can basically run the whole Suite of Adobe Products, mainly - Flash, Dreamweaver, Premier and Photoshop - all CPU intensive software packages so I am looking for the best of everything.
Here is what I came up with. Any advice as I am not familiar with hardware as much as software.
Thanks Steve V.

How about monitor setup? Just a single display, or are you looking to run multiple? The i7's will definitely help with running all the programs. 8-16GB RAM, I haven't looked at them closely, but I'm not sure if AMD or NVidia would be better to encoding help.

Multiple monitors eventually. I hear great things about both AMD and NVida. As far a CPU's after much reading Intel Ivy Bridge seems the best. Any advice anyone has on Graphics Cards? I'm trying to order the best of the best...thats a first :)  And thanks Sinister for getting back to me!
Cheers Steve

Best bang for buck on the high end is the 670 from NVidia, but they're in short supply right now. What I don't know about is if your software can take advantage of CUDA for processing video. If it needs compute power, then AMD will be a better choice, like the 7950 or 7870.
