Hi all,

I'm looking to build my first computer to use with Lightroom and Photoshop. There will be no video or gaming. Can you comment on these components. Many thanks. Have a great Thanksgiving.

Thanks for the comments.

The i7-2600k is $100 more, and I'm trying to stay near $1000.

What do you think of this PSU: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V ...

And this video card: EVGA 01G-P3-1352-KR GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
EVGA 01G-P3-1352-KR GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) 1GB 12...

Thanks again.

Perfect the TX650 has allot of wires but other than that its a great PSU. The 450 is a great all around card and you will even be able to Game on Med settings.
