Hey all, been a while since I've built a PC and was wondering if I can have any criticism on my theoretical build so far.

1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Gaming, Photoshop, some CAD, simple server to stream media from my HDD to set tops and devices around the apartment via simple file sharing. Honestly I've only been building low-midrange. My last PC was an Athlon X2 Propus core. Now that I have a much better job, I want to spoil myself and build a beast.
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
~$2000 (including screen and peripherals)
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
US
4. IF you're buying parts OUTSIDE the US, please post a link to the vendor you'll be buying from.
We can't be expected to scour the internet on your behalf, chasing down deals in your specific country... Again, help us, help YOU.
N/A
5. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy,WD-Fanboy, etc.
I like Asus products in general.
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
N/A
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
Never overclocked before but I'm interested and like to have a build ready for whenever I get around to it.
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?
1080p
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Within the next month or so, unless some new chipset is about to come out that will drastically lower prices on what I have already selected. In that case I'll reevaluate.
10. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?
Just Windows.
