RATE my new $600 build

[aholeinthewor1d]

I just finished up ordering the last of the components from newegg. I do not play games so I did not need a discrete GPU at this time. I will be getting one further down the road. Please leave any comments you might have about about this build.

Looks good!

Nice build, although I am wondering, why do you want a discrete GPU if you don't play games?

It still helps with daily tasks.

I will be using my HDTV as my monitor most of the time (hopefully it will look good with the HD4000 built into the CPU) and i also do some photo/video editing so i will eventually just get a $100-$150 card.
