Building a new Sandybridge system for Photoshop use

[WA7ER]

Hi there.

I'm building up a new system, it's going to be used almost exclusively for Photoshop work, no gaming whatsoever, hence the mid-range graphics card.
Oh, and the drives will be in a RAID 5 array.

A little feedback a to whether you'd change anything would be hugely appreciated, or else I think I'm pretty much ready to go ahead and push the order button



Thanks for any help you can offer

I've considered an SSD, but I think I'd prefer the 5 drives in a RAID array for this build, maybe at a later date I'll give an SSD a try, when the price for a larger capacity drops a little more perhaps.

Downgrading the GFX card seems it could be a good idea, I know that I don't need a huge amount of horsepower, I was just going for the latest generation of card, expecting lower temperatures and perhaps greater efficiency.

Thanks for the advice.

Edit: I think maybe it'll be worth keeping the more powerful card, due to the fact I'll be using dual high resolution monitors?

Ok, thanks for your feedback. I'm going to go for this build, ordering it in a moment



Thanks once more!
