what graphic card will you use? if this is not a gaming rig. then you may need a deacated 3dcard something like a 3dlabs or quadro if you don't have one already. if you do then what you have looks golden.

What is the core of the A64?

Ok then, looks good. You could go for OCZ Plat. with lower timings if you want, a good deal on newegg right now I think. What is the rest of the rig?

RAM's good if you're on a budget, it works great for me ...

Like Plissken said, what graphics card are you using? If your doing some serious graphic design that'll be a big issue.

I can help you take a 6800GT pci-express and convert it to a quadro card....easy and save big buck!!!

If you are only doing graphic design with photos and 2D stuff and not dealing with 3D then you wouldn't need that kind of power....


The rest looks fine...

Like Duvie said photo work digital cam pic's=geforce/ati non workstation cards 3D-rendering things like poser 3dsmax then you will need a workstaion card.
