So I'm gonna get a desktop to replace my 8 year old desktop that died a year ago.
I originally wanted to attempt building my own, but after consulting computer savvy family members they suggested against and warned it would cost me even more due to me having clumsy fingers and being generally inept at putting anything together period.
*~They didn't want to help me either the bastards~*
This is what I got.

I generally will use this desktop as my primary gaming machine (Duh).
I will play MMO's mostly/Sims 3 and use Photoshop and generally do my artsy projects on this machine.
I would like to know what is overkill and what isn't exactly up to speed advice advice advice.....
PS: I don't really care about which sound card is on my system everything sounds the same to me and I'm kinda iffy on the mother board from reading another thread on this section.
Thank you
