Ok, so in order to make things easier I want to follow the rules: here I go.
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: in the next month or two
Budget Range: hopefully no more than $500
System Usage from Most to Least Important: downloading and streaming movies, running photoshop, and other similar programs for my design and photography work
Are you buying a monitor: I may buy a larger one in the future so I would like to be able to run dual monitors, one being my TV to watch movies while I work
Do you need to buy OS: No
Location: New York City
Parts Preferences: I like the Prodigy Mini-ITX
Overclocking: Maybe but I dont think I need this for what I will be using it for will I?
SLI or Crossfire: Yes / No / Maybe
Additional Comments: The quieter the better
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Tired of working off of my laptop all the time, want something new and powerful.
