[FONT="]Hello,[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]
[FONT="]I'm looking to take a leap and build my own computer for the first time using top components. Any advice, tips, criticisms would be appreciated.[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]
[FONT="]I need to know if the list below will work together. Am I missing anything? Have I chosen something that is really not needed?[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]
[FONT="]I am a photographer and deal with mass amounts of phots, videos, music etc. I also want to play games occasionally, or watch a DVD. [/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]
[FONT="]I haven't decided on what kind of monitor yet or a mouse or keyboard. I am pretty close to budget. I'll spend around 2400 or so. I am starting from scratch, bringing no parts from other places. All new.
[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]
[FONT="]How does this combination stack up? Thank you in advance for any help to the above questions and your time.[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]
