Sorry for the late reply. Mostly for gaming. Maybe mix it up in picture editing and such, but nothing major. Just somehting to do like some webpage banners and sigs and such. I also forgot to add that I have a moniter.
 
How much do you think prices will drop during christmas? Was hoping to build this PC by the 1st of January, and was waiting to see if prices was going down.
