    Hey all,

    I need some expert opinions on some of the products I've gathered on my wish list. I think I'm going a little too high scale for I what I want to use it for.

    A little about myself: I'm a web developer, designer (photoshop), gamer (wow and left 4 dead), and do a LOT of multi-tasking. PC I built which I've had for about 7 years has lasted me well but lately it's been extremely sluggish even after a format. I suspect bad memory / psu and my video card has been showing signs of lag lately as well. So it's time for me to buy a new system.

    Anyways, here's something I whipped up quick. Basically guys, I want items that have good reviews, don't want the latest and greatest because we all know how fast things get outdated, but at the same time I want something that is going to last. I've been a long AMD fan but I don't mind trying out intel now. Here is what I have so far - I basically need to add a decent cooling case and new power supply. Any modifications to what I've selected are more then welcome. Anything that will bring price down but get me the best bang for the buck.

    I would go for Intel quad core q9550, Geforce 9800GT, 4 GB ram. Great for designer and for gamer i think :)
