Hi,
I'm new to this forum. Found it through Google. I'm in need of some real help. I've built pc's in past but it was about 6-7 years back . I'm planning to build a PC for mostly photography related work. I'm a amateur photographer and use some Adobe and Nik Software apps for processing. I don't want the best of the best but something that runs for a while. I want to spend between $1000-1200, so tough on budget.
I've come up with the following config (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ApLY):
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($229.99 @ Microcenter)

I have already purchased the Dell Monitor and the Seagate HDD and planning to buy the rest ASAP. It would be a great help to get the config reviewed and any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks a lot for stopping by.
