I'm building another desktop and I'd like some input on the build but I have some specific requirements.

The budget is semi-open ended--not a cheapy build--but also doesn't need to be $2000 +

Build must be in Canadian dollars this time and I do not need a LCD screen, keyboard, extra fans, thermal paste..etc.

I don't need an operating system either!

Motherboard must be ASUS!

CPU must be INTEL Quad!

Hard Drive/Drives should be minimum 1TB total (2 x 500GB..etc)

DDR3 Ram 4GB minimum!

ATI GPU high end.

Bonus points for lots of usb, esata, firewire, hdmi...etc..more connectivity--the better!

You can pick the rest!

Desktop will be used for games, heavy photo editing, residential/commercial design, & storage of high-res images and work data!

Must be fast--more important to be fast and efficient than oriented toward just a gaming machine!

Thanx
