USES
1.Illustrator / Photoshop design work ( rendering, vector, etc. )
2.While simultaneously heavy tabbed browsing
I would like support for up to 3 monitors. And as many USB 3.0 ports as humanly possible.
* If it matters there will be virtually no gaming.
BUDGET
Under $2500 USD if possible. Does not include software / peripherals. That stuff will be out of a different budget. And if there is a good reason I could go a bit over $2500.
QUESTIONS
1st. Will I notice a difference with the below processor / mobo as compared to say i7-4770k with MSI Z87-G45 ? I do not have a problem spending the little extra if there is a real benefit for the type of work that I do.
2nd. I need help choosing a graphics card(s). Don't really even know where to start.
* I have also not picked out a power supply as I am assuming that will depend on what I do for a graphics card.
And I suppose if anyone wants to recommend a good case while you are at it that would be cool too.
