Ok this is going to be my first build. the computer will be used for basic photoshopping and 3d modeling.
not gaming now, though i'm patiently waiting for starcraft 2 and diablo 3.
i have a monitor purchased and unless someone here can steer me in a good video card direction, i plan on waiting until those previously mentioned games come out before i purchase a video card.
this will be used with xp.....if xp works with it.
ok so heres what i have so far, all from newegg. budget, (including the forthcoming video card) is aimed at 500.
