APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: hopefully by this Thursday 9/17
BUDGET RANGE: $850 - $1000
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: multitasking between 3d modeling and Adobe Creative Suite, mild-gaming, general use
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: monitor, keyboard, mouse, OS
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg
PARTS PREFERENCES: i7 920
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe in the future
MONITOR RESOLUTION: currently at 19", but I will be upgrading in the near future
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Thanks for reading the plea of a newbie. I would like to have input on parts that closely adhere to my budget. When I am doing my work I am heavily multitasking, which I think is the most taxing thing I require of this build. I do some gaming and don't expect this build to have top notch gaming capability. I would also like to have this be as quiet of a build as possible. I know the budget is small, but I do absolutely need a new computer right now. I can add more in the future as well, so input on upgrading phases would be nice as well. I think upgrades later would be to utilize Crossfire/SLI capabilities. I will also be getting another HD as well. I have some idea of a couple of the components as well and would like input:
