t's been 3 years since i got my current rig, and now after 3 years in the IDF i need a new one.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
about the power supply. List make and model.
my main "need" is capacity, for that i got a perc 5/i raid controller and i plan to pair it with 4 1.5 seagte HDD's.
but my problem is this, while i'm not a gamer i do like to play from time to time and my new 27" dell 2709w need power for that. but keeping a "power" rig on 24/7 is too much form me (i think)
i wanted to buy a rig based on E8400 with P45 mobo (for the perc and g.card) and a 4850.
but now i have started to think about building a file server using 4850e and a 780/790 mobo so i can also use it as a media pc (27" is a great size) and make a cheaper gaming rig but one that i'll power on when needed.
however i live in a shit hole called Israel where the price for pc part's is hell high, for example:
E8400 - USA = 165$ | Israel = 800nis ~ 210$
4870 - USA = 200$ | Israel = 1300nis ~ 342$
i need your advice on this matter since it's hard for me to decide if to build 1 "strong" rig with a giant capacity or 2 rigs
forgive me for the strange question but i reached a dead end in my head on this matter.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
mostly HD video watching but also gaming from time to time
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?about 2000$ but in Israel parts are expensive (see bellow)
3) Where do you live?Israel
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific.i need cpu,mobo,mem,g.card
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?some OC nothing hardcore
7) What size monitor do you have or plan to have?dell 2709W
