My computer is a part of my soul.
I use it, of course, for social internet.
I have all of my DVDs ripped and stored on a drive which I watch through XBMC.
I do a fair amount of Photoshop for large pieces of art (28x40 at 300dpi). And of course a light bit of gaming. I really dont push OC for anything, but the room that the computer is in gets REALLY hot in the summer... so finding a way to keep it cool is a must (but Ive never used water cooled before so Id like to avoid it and that means some quality air flow is important.)
I'm currently looking at this build:

I'd love some feed back, as I've way overbuilt this thing. I need to scale back some but Im not trying to build it for pennies either. Would love to get your ideas of where to make changes that are more in line with how I'll be using it.
