First this site is great. I learned more here at the forums then anywhere else on the web. So kudos to the community here.
My second build. Mainly for my 24HD Cintiq and photoshop, windows 8 64, dual monitor + cintiq, adobe products, over building so it will last, ordering from new egg, don't mind some overkill.
CASE - Corsair 650D (I'm set on this)
POWER SUPPLY - ? (I have no idea)
MOTHER BOARD - Asus P9X79 WS (could use some advice) (Asus seems to be recommended a lot)
CPU - Intel i7-3930k (I'm set on this)
CPU COOLER - ? (No idea, I may not overclock but I'm a believer that if a great cooler can help when you overclock why not have it for normal use, plus I'll at least have the option if I want to down the road)
RAM - Corsiar vengeance 16gb or G.SKILL Heard these mentioned a lot. (No idea but I want a lot so I can avoid a scratch disk) (plus I heard that having dual 8 is better so you can fill it up to 32 later. I have many adobe apps, music, internet, etc, running at once)
GPU - Nvida GForce 560 or lower? (I'm set on Nvida and posibly the g force series, love their product, some editing, dual cards, set up for two monitors and a cintiq, maybe I'll eventually get a third monitor since I will have a left over slot, I know it may be overkill for photoshop but I don't mind spending 200 on each graphics card.
DISK - Samsung 128 gb SSD x 3?. Heard this Samsung was reliable. I want SSD setup. (1st) OS on separate SSD, (2nd) Photoshop on another SSD and maybe other programs?, (3rd) then I'm guessing for temp files, music, etc. (4th) I generally by habit work from files from an external usb drive... should I be better off to have another SSD to work on from my computer, like a portable one? IDK. Either way I don't need too much memory right now on my computer I'm using only 44GB total on my c drive plus 3-4 externals. Rather smaller but more.
RAID CONTROLLER - Just curious what this is? I'm assuming I don't need it.
Let me know if I forget anything. Thanks in advance, Murray
