1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Primarily: 3D Modeling using Maya, Zbrush, Max. Secondary: Gaming, Photoshop, Theatre PC
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? $1500-2000, already have a monitor
3) Where do you live? USA
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific. Powerful CPU that will reduce renders in Maya, lots of RAM, powerful video card, SSD to install OS and apps
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
6) Will you be overclocking? CPU and GPU, nothing crazy just safe boosts
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have? Own fw900
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Christmas
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc. This is one area I'd like some feedback in, will RAID setup improve productivity, are two videocards worth it?
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? Yes

Any help will be appreciated, I'll also be looking into articles/posts about specific hardware to get a better idea myself.
