So im building my first CS5.5 build, (mostly advanced photoshop with lots of automation)
i need to keep the cost around $1300 USD.
The most important factor is that it will last many years and be cheaply upgraded so i do not mind spending a little extra on
base components that will last beyond future upgrades.
This is what i have so far
Case: Corsair Obsidian Series 550D Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Mainboard: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX
GPU: EVGA 02G-P4-2670-KR GeForce GTX 670 2GB 256-bit GDDR5
PSU: CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX850
Ram: CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
CPU: AMD FX-8150 Zambezi 3.6GHz Socket AM3+
Cooling: CORSAIR H100 (CWCH100) Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
SSD: OCZ Vertex 4 VTX4-25SAT3-128G 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black WD2002FAEX 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive :EDITED:
totals = $1657
Nothing is set in stone yet
Feel free to let loose and be brutal on me. i wanna know what you think.
Does my build suck? is it great? Should i change it up? Am I wasting money? You tell me.
