So I'm about to order some stuff from newegg to make my own desktop. It'll be used for heavy photo manipulation and processing (I'm a professional photographer, and this will be my workstation).
I've never built my own machine before, so I need to know exactly what is necessary. Below are what I have so far:
CASE:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119137
DISK DRIVES (2):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827151173
HARD DRIVES:
HDD for OS and programs:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136296
^ what does 'bare drive' mean?
HDD for general files:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136283
GRAPHICS CARD:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814143141
POWER SUPPLY:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006
MEMORY:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145233
MOTHERBOARD:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128375
PROCESSOR:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115202
OS:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116478
anything else I need? cables, extra fans, etc.? The only other thing I'll add is a simple 12-in-1 card reader.
The total right now is $1750 or so, including shipping and mail-in rebates. I'd like to keep it below 1800, or even lower if possible (duh).
Thanks!!
