if yo uare getting the dell 2048x 1152 monitor then forget photoshop, the colour reproduction is rubbish, i'm using one right now, OK for gaming, rubbish for colour.

@iam2thecrowe: It's right that he should focus more on the GPU. But he shouldn't buy the Phenom II 955 BE. he'll have a CPU bottleneck with any high-end card. I'm sufferring from this bottleneck right now.

the community members who replied before me told you the right thing. Get an i5-2500K and with the reaminder of the $1500 budget, get a decent gaming card. I recommend that you buy this rig in separate parts and assemble it yourself as boutique builders like iBUYPOWER make you pay a premium for their builds. That can be used to beef up your hardware configuration.

You can also buy a decent aftermarket cooler and OC your CPU when you feel the need for more performance. I guess you'd get two or three years out of the CPU without a problem.
