I decided on this build a couple of months ago and it is my first build. I would be grateful if I could have some help on choosing components. I wanted this system to:
I will mainly use this PC to:
* run Windows 7 as my main OS
* run several instances of VMWare (I will be running another OS on there)
* programming
* video editing
* movies
* audio editing
* games
