Ok. Im planning my upgrade today and need some help.
Im going to be reusing the following....
Power Supply
Case
Intel SSD for boot
Monitor
Win 7/64bit

Im looking for a new MB, Memory to go with it, and CPU. I have already bought a new video card.

Im really looking for a super stable build. My current build has been plagued with problems and I would like to avoid that this time. Im not going to overclock.
Gaming, Lightroom, Music and video playback are my main uses. I will also be uploading large photo files for storage.
I dont mind spending money if its going to work out to a stable build.
I have about 1000 to play with, though less is fine also:D
Thanks.
 
Please give specifics about the parts that you plan on reusing. Which SSD? Which PSU? (How old is the PSU?) Is your copy of Windows a retail or OEM version? (It matters, as an OEM version that has been activated even once before can't be transferred onto a new system.)

Here are a few more questions:

- Which video card did you buy? When did you buy it?
- Do you plan on overclocking your system?
- What size/resolution (of the monitor) are you using?
- Do you live near a Fry's or Micro Center B&M store?
