Advice on new build

leapfrog · 31 Mar 2009 at 12:27

Hi all,

I'm looking at building a new system and would be grateful for any advice on the choices I have looked at before I take the plunge. It will mainly be used for graphics/animation work with Flash, Photoshop and After effects (often with any two of these apps open at one time), it will also used for some gaming and movie watching.

I've already got a couple of HDD and DVD drive.

I have never overclocked before (although I would be prepared to give it a go, are there any risks of damaging anything?), so one choice

Or maybe

I'd rather have it a quiet as possible which is why I am looking at the Hush case but would it be cool enough and would it fit the GTX260 ok?

Thanks for any help

This spec would be a lot better.

That's up to you, but I doubt you're going to use anything close to 6GB let alone 12GB.
