1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Photoshop/Lightroom for photo editing.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
Range been 500-800 (budget is tight).
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
US. Milwaukee, WI
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.
Case, mobo, cpu, ram, hdd, video card, psu
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Existing lcd monitors will be reused for now
6) Will you be overclocking?
No
7) 7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
2x22". 1680x1050
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Right away. 30 days max
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video (as a backup or main GPU)? UEFI? etc.
The typical newer features of 6Gb/s & eSata would be good. I presume a board with 6Gb/s will have USB3.0
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
W7 64-bit
Additional note, on a regular day after a photo shoot, about 50GB of pictures are transferred from memory cards into lightroom to be edited, then transferred off to an external for storage. I'd like to fit in probably a 128GB SSD (M4?) to run the OS & the 'current import' of pictures.
