Of course I want to pick all of your brains and see if there is anything that would be wise to change that would be good value for what I am spending.  I'll do some FPS gaming, internet stuff and lots of photo editing.

It took my a while to find DS and I'm glad I did.  I had a bad experience with a competitor prior to finding out about these guys and hope to put that far behind me.  Alex and the others I've phoned when ordering my system have been fantastic.

Thanks again.

harleyman,

Thanks a lot for the encouragement-it's great to get some experienced opinions when I've spent this kind of money. 

I just spoke with DS today and the parts have been picked for the computer so it's being built!

Woohoo!
