Hi all, Well, my 6-7 year old Sandy Bridge Core i5 2500k (overclocked) rig is starting to show its age (with dual nVidia 680's!), so it's time to start putting together the components for a new PC. I use it for the basics, as well as tons of photo editing (Photoshop, Lightroom), and gaming. My rough thoughts on a base spec are: 32Gb RAM large SSD for boot drive and a small one for cache A couple of big spinning disks for bulk storage i7 CPU - 6 or 8 cores (or maybe i9, though the cost is nearly double for far less than double the performance) high-end nVidia video card I'm not wedded to Intel and nVidia - they're just what I'm used to - so I'm open to suggestions Any thoughts on the above, and other components like coolers, case, power supply etc? I'll be buying the pieces in a couple of weeks. Cheers, AstronomerXI
