Well I am gonna build a system and have come up with a list of pieces. Would appreciate you shooting holes in my thoughts and let me know how I can make it better.
I use Adobe Production Premium CS3 and with my P4 3.2 and 3 GB ram, it is slow. I don't do any games just photowork and then make movies/slideshows out of them.
I am planning on OC to 3.2GHz and pushing the Ram also.
Here is my proposed system:
Gigabyte modo GA-P35-DS3R LGA 775
Intel C2Q Q6600 2.4GHz
Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Cooler
Corsair CMPSU-620HX PSU
4 GB Ram - Corsair Dominator 2GB - DDR2 1066 (PC@8500)
Antec P180B Case
XFX PVT73GUGD3 GeForce 7600GT 256MB PCI Express x16
WD Raptor 150GB Drive - 1
Samsung 500GB 7200 RPM SATA3.0Gb/s HD - 3
LITE-ON 20X DVD+R SATA Burner - 2
Windows XP Home (Selected this as this is what I am running now with no problems)
Right now, I have been looking at Newegg. I looked at Zipzoomfly, NCIXUS, and MWave also. Newegg and Zipzoomfly were about the same. NCIXUS was a little cheaper but I was leary on how long it would take to ship here.
Please comment on what I might be wasting money on or where I might do something different. Of course you know, once I get it then I will be back on OC'ing it.
Thanks...
Jimmy
