Hello,

I'm planning to built my own PC. I will need it for 3d modelling/rendering, making high res textures & painting 3d models (photoshop cs6 & others). I also play the occasional game...
I've replaced pretty much every part (except case, cpu & motherboard) in my previous pc's with little trouble, but never built one myself & don't really know much about it. So I'm looking for any help/flaws/cautions/advice I can get

I'm not sure yet if I'd buy the parts from amazon or from local stores. Amazon is about 20% to 15% cheaper, but i am a bit worried about ordering such delicate parts over the internet?

I came up with the following:
(added links to amazon store for info)

I've ordered parts from Amazon before, and never had a problem. They use plenty of bubble wrap and packing peanuts. I suggest you opt for courier delivery rather than standard mail though. If Amazon gives the best price, go with them.
