I'm going to be building my first computer in a few months and right now I'm trying to plan it all out. If you could look over my choices and make some suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
Approximate Purchase Date: November 1st, 2011
Budget Range: $1600
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Photoshop, Web development, web browsing
Parts Not Required: Mouse, Speakers, OS
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com
Country of Origin: USA
Parts Preferences: Mid tower, 23-24" Monitors (3). I don't like monitors that have a large frame or rounded edges.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Additional Comments: I'd like it to be quiet and linux friendly. I'm not on either side of the fence in the whole AMD vs Intel thing, so if you think an AMD processor would suit my needs better, that's fine.
Games I'll likely be playing:
Minecraft
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Left 4 Dead 2
Crysis 2
Here are the parts I picked. I'm not a big fan of the case I chose, but I want my computer to be quiet.
