It has been a while so double check me please

First thanks all for your advice.  It has been a while since i have purchased a custom built system or for that matter built my own so I am a bit behind in my research.  I would appreciate some double checks here. 

Budget is 3000-3400 I am also buying a new camera so any money I can save will go into that or new glass. 

Expectations dual monitors running 1920x1080 no dual graphics cards off the bat but it is not out of the question, if it happens I can swap out the power supply myself if needed. 

Usage:  Gaming and work,  think Skyrim as big and sexy as it can get,  but also video editing and compression, I use both Adobe Photoshop and Premiere for work.   Hard drive space is not an issue for the editing, each project gets its own drive purchased by the client. 

Special needs:  I am concerned about heat, my computer room is above my garage and while it is air conditioned in the summer it houses 3 other computers.  North Carolina summers in my computer room can be a AC nightmare we do our best with an extra fan to pull cool air in from the hall but this room was never designed for 3 computers and their heat.  Eventually I will have a AC only for this room but that is a bit further down the important list.  I need to keep the computer cool while monitoring the temps.

Hi Chillwolf....Welcome...I need to take off...my wife is calling , ....... so off the top, consider changing psu to the 1050hx to allow sli, 2x gpu.    For dual monitor if you want to Max out stuff like BF3, etc. you'll really need sli.      Also, the fan upgrade adds noise and the fan control is there to quiet noisy fans but does reduce much needed air flow.      Others might chime in.   See ya later.

I appreciate all the feed back and FrankW thanks for laying out a new system.  I initially went the 6 core route specifically for Adobe but it appears not to care about core 5 and 6 i had hoped to chase the ever running dream of less render time. 

Thanks again for all your time I have some things to chew over.  I am ready to get a new machine now just need to sneak it past the wife :) 

Originally posted by FrankW Hi Chillwolf, I wasn't aware you were rendering. You might find an advantage with the 3930 because it has a larger cache. The 3820 has an L3 cache of 10Mb, the 3930 has 12Mb and the 3960 has 15Mb. The cache might help with your render speeds. Of course, more money. With a stage 2 OC they all share the same speed. I also see you mentioned about running other computers in the same room. Are you running a rendering Farm? Frank

No nothing quite that cool, I am running a pair of teenage pc gamers, although they are pretty cool except for how much they eat.  Lucky one of them will be spending his summer working on the family farm so -1 to the computer room heat factor this summer. 

I have read some really good things about the 3930 chip I may lean back that way.  I wish I could drop a render or even a compression test on both machines before hand, just to see where they stand. 

Thank you again for all your help.
