1. Games (strategy, new shooters) / light Photoshop usage / lots of music
2. $1000 +/- 40%
3. US
4. N/A
5. No brand preference
6. Current build, still works (barely), not sure which parts can use:
GA-P35-DS3L, E8400 Wolfdale @3.6GHz, Patriot Viper 4GB, * Edit: EVGA GeForce GTS 450 Superclocked 1024 MB *, WD Raptor 150GB, CORSAIR 620HX, ZALMAN 9500AT, Antec P182
7. Overclocking - if recommended, otherwise default for more stability
8. 22" 1680x1050 with a possible monitor upgrade later
9. Now -- next 3 months
X. Needs to be quiet, I have JVC 480W audio system (not just speakers) - do I need an audio card? Is water cooling worth it?
Thank you for all feedback and comments!
