Rig To be built - Specs plz rate or make suggestions.

[objecterror]

This is going to be my first custom build for myself. i have dabbled in putting together low end systems(purely for surfing the net) but, for this machine iam going for something that will give me the most in multi tasking capabilities and running games such as unreal tournament. FFXI. Guild Wars and other games of that calibur.
in the other side, its basically going to get more use for photoshop and premiere work. ton of graphic design.

here are my specs via a wishlist i put together on newegg. if you have any suggestions on my hardware please let me know. i will be buying pieces one by one and build the final project sometime in june.

Maybe consider getting a 7900GT? Otherwise, it looks good.

 

[Vybuni]

Definately get the 7900GT.

I would also go for a different PSU, one that doesn't come with the case, as they tend to be of lower quality. The Antec Truepower2 550W is a great PSU, with a good price.

They are out of stock, but thats cuz they are brand new. It would DEFINATELY be worth the few extra bucks to get the 7900.

Here is the PSU
