(Sorry for all the new threads I'm opening..)
Today I spent some time with my client (that I am building the computer for) and he was showing me the ins and outs of photography and I plan to get into that some day, I'm actually starting to download my software for me and him as we I type this up... I couldn't believe how I felt when I did my first picture but anyway sorry with the rambling... will my current set up do me good? (My system specs are in the system specs on the side) I am 100% sure I am getting more HDDs actually going to save this 750GB one I have for my games and then getting 2TB hard drives for my photos... I plan to do some where around 5000 a month so yea I am going to get a lot of stuff... Software I am going to use are : Photoshop and light room primarily... but in the case that this current system I have doesn't live up to the job then I will post it up on craigslist or sell it off some where as a gaming computer. But in case that it doesn't hold up I put together a quick list of parts that I think will suffice for my new gaming computer / personal work station... what do you guys think of the parts. (see links below)
Budget no more then $800
CPU : i5 - 750
Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz 8MB L3 Cache L...

With GTX 460 : $787.89 With GTX260 : $735.45
I am also kind of confused with the GPU if I should get the 260 or the 460 not really sure need help deciding with that... also with the Mobo CPU RAM Heatsink PSU I feel really confident with those... but can some one refer me to a cheaper Case w/ a nice PSU or just a cheaper case in general? I like the other parts but always a cheaper case that does the job is nice.
This is my second gaming computer would like to know how you guys feel about it, and what you guys like / dislike. Again thank you for the help that I know you guys will give me.
