Build for Adobe Lightroom

Nope, but why do I need calibration equipment?

Well, as I mentioned much earlier in the thread..

I do hope you have a good IPS monitor and calibration device available to take advantage of all of this, though.

If you're building a rig specifically for Lightroom and photo editing, it would be wise to throw in a calibration device to keep your monitor profiled for more accurate color display. I use the NEC-branded X-rite Eye1 Display2 with my 2490. I believe the regular i1d2 runs for around $150-200 depending on where you look. There are cheaper ones out there, but a bit less accurate. There are also much more expensive ones out there which are much more accurate. It's a relatively small investment compared to everything else you were looking at putting together, but heavily affects the quality of photos you output.

Yes I do have monitor calibration. Abit long in the tooth, but working still. Six year old color vision one.
Monitor upgrade scheduled for next year as I want a good 30 incher. Will use my current monitor for secondary display of tools.

Thanks to everybody who helped me. I built my computer yesterday and it seems to be much much faster than my old one. Now the sliders update real time instead of getting the rotating circle.
Running the stability tests now since this is my first build before doing any oc.

Glad you like it!

Great to hear everything's running smoothly for you!
What parts did you finally settle on?

I'm waiting for a few more discounts before I jump in for my IVB build; also for LR and PS, but also for some gaming.

The ones as listed now in the original post. I went with 6870 video card. Only went with a cheaper bluray drive I got on sale in micro center.

I actually setup the ssd as srt and preview cache and not the boot drive. This way I have a safe setup which is fast as well for things that matter.
