Approximate Purchase Date: Next 7 days
Budget Range: $1500 - $2000 Before Shipping, After Rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Photoshop CS6 Extended (Primarily non-3d work), High end gaming (Crysis 3 in my sights), Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: Case (More function/cooling than fashion... clean designs are nice. Currently use an antec 900) , CPU, Mobo, RAM, GFX, Sound (unless onboard audio is awesome, I use a Sennheiser PC360 with an Astro Mixamp), Power Supply, HDDs, Optical (burning and playing blu-ray is not something I'm interested in).
Do you need to buy OS: Yes - Windows 7 Home Premium
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: No preference so long as they have a decent return policy and competitive shipping
Location: Winter Garden, FL, USA
Parts Preferences: Everything I'm reading says go Intel CPU which is fine by me. I'm not positive on NVIDIA vs. ATI chipsets since Adobe now supports CUDA and OpenCL.
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: SLI/Crossfire (Maybe)
Your Monitor Resolution: (1920x1080 if possible)
Additional Comments: I prefer my PCs to be quiet which I why I usually augment default HSF's with big silent case fans
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My old PC is over 5 years old and my graphics design work is picking up significantly. I'd also like the option of playing top of the line games on the PC again. Additionally, I'm doing quite a bit of editing in Adobe Premiere Pro for a YouTube channel. I'm looking to future proof this build as much as possible.

If I wanted to look into SLI (as the gaming requirement is only *slightly* behind photoshop):
