Looking for suggestions on a new build that will primarily be used for Photoshop (50%) and Gaming (50%), also will be used as a whole house audio server through my Home Theater system. Also looking for 1-2 HDs for storage and the best CD/DVD for ripping audio CDs and a good burner.
Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP
Budget Range: 1200-1500 US dollars after rebates, shipping.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Photoshop 50% (for business) Games 50% (want to run the latest games).
Are you buying a monitor: Yes, probably one of the 27" Korean 2560 x 1440 panels not included in total system price.
Do you need to buy OS: No, using Windows 7 x64
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Any in the US, live about 75 miles from a Microcenter.
Location: Colorado.
Overclocking: Yes.
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe.
Your Monitor Resolution: Currently 1440 x 900, probably upgrading.
Additional Comments: Will also be used as a whole house music server with several terabytes of music already stored on 4 SATA drives, need a case that can accommodate these. Don't care for cases with ports on top.
Why Are You Upgrading: Old PC is several years outdated, old Dell Optiplex 780.
