I'm going to build a system soon and am looking for suggestions. It's going to be used mainly for gaming, internet and a small amount of photoshop. This build is a little over my planned budget. I was hoping to keep it between $800 and $1000. Or at least my Wife was! Is there any suggestions you guys can make to save me a little money (and heartache from the Boss) while still keeping good gaming performance and somewhat future proofing? I really like to try and keep a system for around 3 years or so, and it seems a quad core is my best bet along with a good graphics card. I've never really oc'd, so it may be an option at some point, but I'd rather not have to oc straight out of the box. Thanks for any suggestions!
