Heya Team,
Have never built a desktop before, but am thinking of giving it a
whirl. I've already got a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and a sound card.
The PC will be used for lots of digital photo editing (huge files),
gaming, some multimedia stuff, and basic web browsing.
All these items will be purchased from NewEgg.
