Default New Computer Suggestion

I will probably be getting a new computer for my birthday. My mom will probably pay $1500 for it. I will probably be ordering parts off of http://www.newegg.com and have a local computer place put them together for around $150. So i would like to have someone put together a list of parts that will fit into that budget.


Some thing I will definately want:
19" Thin screen monitor < $300(trust me they have probably 5 or so)
and i will be needing a new set of speakers(nothign too powerful cuz my comps in an office)


I will mainly be using my comptuer for Adobe Photoshop and I will probably get Cinema 4D soon so i will need a processor and RAMM they will let me do those thing smoothly and quickly


I do like comptuer alot and I do alot on them, but I dont really do that much towards building them. Thats why I would like it if someone of you guys put together a list for moi.


Muchily appreciated,
~Imp

Take a look at Computer Specs 101.

Leave yourself about around 400-450 dollars for the monitor and spaeakers.

I think I read that but it just gave suggestions. I would like an actual list of things if it wouldnt be too hard

That one has some stuff but it doesnt really have what Iam looking for.

I am an AMD, Nvidia guy

and i would like a cool little case with neon in it


PLEASE

Computer Specs 101 gives you an actual list of components.

You should definitly get 2GB of RAM. It will be much better for photoshop and gaming.
