I'm looking to build a system that will be used for gaming, light photoshop graphic design and some animation. Nothing too intensive. I currently have a Macbook Pro (2.4ghz, 4gb 667 RAM, GeForce 8600M GT) and for everything but the gaming it does fine. That said, if the system I build is better, I would switch to it for the work tasks and keep the mac for all day-to-day stuff.
The one quirk here is that, if possible, I would like a SFF system unless you convince me otherwise. I just like keeping things small and tidy. This is not a huge necessity, just an interest.
So:
Price: Sub $1000
Purpose: mainly gaming, some photoshop and animation
location: California
parts I have: monitor (24" 1920x1200)/keyboard/mouse/speakers. All I need is the case and innerds.
OC'ing: I would prefer not to, but may play around in the future.
As mentioned, I have a 24" 1920x1200 monitor, so the graphics do need to be somewhat capable. I'm looking to play things like Call of Duty: MW, Fallout3, Witcher, etc.
Thanks!

). How many people with ginormous towers have parts that compare to some of them? Tons people have mid/full size towers w/ 7 slots and only use.. 1. Many have "inferior" overclocks than some of us.
