Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Yeah, I can't really figure this one out. Some people say Photoshop will use it for resizing/textures, others say that Premiere is really the only CS app that uses CUDA while Photoshop relies more on OpenGL...
I went with ATI only because I'm more familiar with them.
I forgot to mention that I have a 500gb 7200rpm hitachi drive that I will be using for storage.
Do you have any recommendation for a video card? I'm really clueless in that department, but am under the assumption that Photoshop make some use of OpenGL but that it doesn't rely on a video card...

95% Photoshop CS 5, 5% web browsing, 0% gaming.

$700-800 shipped. Would prefer the lower...
