I am not attached to the case. I was just quickly looking at cases on newegg and thought it looked decent.

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Mostly Graphic Design work with multiple programs being used at once PS 5, AI, Rip software for Wideformat printers. Plus some gaming and ripping my dvds, blu ray when I get a chance
2) What's your budget? Are...
Let me try to explain a little more. I am going to upgrade the RAM right away on the prebuilt machine as suggested. But I could actually use another computer as I may also be hiring someone this spring to help out with orders. My business will be paying for the new computer and I can always...
Thanks for the advice everyone!!
I will max out the current ram on the my current rig and give that a shot. I may still build a new computer as well as my main machine and use the current rig for other production work .
If I build right now I am assuming a i7 2600k would be the way...
I think I would like to build new. Maybe just go with a 2600k setup with maybe putting the OS and my graphic software on a ssd ?? It would be hard to pull apart the prebuilt rig to upgrade the CPU as I really dont have any down time.
thanks!

OK I am looking at building a new computer for work. I currently am using a I7 920 with 9gb ram and windows 7 64bit really nothing that bad. But I am having a hard time due to large file sizes and multiple programs at once for instance I always have PS, Corel draw X5, Wasatch RIP software...
Thanks everyone I just bought one from another member here
I am looking to pick up a Vista 64 bit HOME PREMIUM OEM Disc only. I already have the 32bit version with serial numbers but I should have just gotten the X64 disc instead.
So again this is only for the X64 DVD No Serial...
I was just checking out some reviews on 4850 X2 and it seems that when you get a second card Crossfire there is not much of a increase but if you add a second gtx280 SLi it adds quite a bit to the FPS.

Thanks!!
I want to upgrade my graphics card from what I currently have (in sig) . I recently had to get a new monitor for my graphic design work NEC 2690WUXi 1920X1200 and I want to still be able to game on this monitor with some of the newer games out there (COD5, Crysis, Facr cry 2 etc)
Well I...
Thanks all for the help I will work with adjusting some different parts of my design which will hopefully help.
I guess my next step will be to install Vista (currently running XPpro) and drop in some more Ram luckily I have both here at my office (New 2gb Ram and And unused copy of vista)...
Ok I have a question I have never used a Mac but I know that it pretty much is the standard for Graphic Designers. I am having problems with the PC I built about 6months ago, it just gets compleatly bogged down trying to handle large files (650mb). I currently use PS CS3, Illy CS3, and Corel...

Thanks for the Info!!!. So when I design something and save the file while on the XP side and lets say the file is a gig or 2 will it only save that file on the 25gb the I have partioned out for XP or will it use the remainder of the HD space?
The programs I have are
Wasatch Color...
Ok I have a question I am about to start building a new computer on monday ( waiting for some more parts) and I just found out that some of my graphic design software is not compatible with VISTA which I was going to use as my OS. So I was thinking of dual booting with XP pro.
My question...
