Hey guys

Not built a system in ages and just put together some bits and pieces. It's going to be used for main office pc doing tasks and advanced photoshop tasks using a dual monitor set up.
Looking to built a top spec machine to last beyond 5 plus years.
I have a 2nd 2TB HDD here already so only needing a SSD for the system drive.
Any advice on the system along with anything you think i may have missed. thanks

hey stulid

really appreciate the response and it was exactly the type of reply i was looking for to weed out any obvious incompatibilities.

This the updated basket i have went with using your recommendations. I do however need some help in picking a graphics card and a heatsink/fan.

This machine will not be used for overclocking or gaming in anyway, having dual monitor set up is the key feature needed.
It would need to have x2 DVI and if possible x2 HDMI outputs for when the monitors are upgraded to HDMI. I'm not precious for either Nvidia or AMD.

It's seems a pain that even the retails cpus don't ship with heatsinks, i just need something basic that gets the job done as no overclocking will be done.

Cheers
