Hey all, just looking for critiques and suggestions on my build. I'll be using the computer for heavy photo editing (Adobe CS5), video editing, HD video playback, and some graphic intensive gaming (BF3, RAGE, mostly FPS). I want to focus the costs towards CPU, GPU, and RAM and not worry so much about HDDs, CD/DVD drives, network cards, aesthetics, sound, etc. I do not overclock, so I won't be needing tons of cooling. I'm open to suggestions for anything, especially if it lowers the price.
