I don't play games often, however when I do I play LoL, SC2, The Sims 3, SimCity(coming out soon). I just want to be able to play these games on max settings. Programs I will be using are Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Visual Studios 2010, Firefox(multipletabs), Chrome(multipletabs), FL Studio, and possibly ProTools in the future.
This computer needs to be able to handle audio production. I multitask a lot and just end up having a lot of programs opened. Such as Firefox, Chrome, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and Visual Studios at the same time. And I'll have a bunch of tabs open for nearly everything. I want the computer to be able to handle all of that!
Now if the computer can handle that, how can I cut costs? I want to be able to overclock just for the sake of having that option available to me. That is why I want to go with liquid cooling (and because it looks cool).
Thank you in advance for your help!
