Hello! It's the first time I post here though I've read a lot. I'm spanish, but I think we can understand us without problems :D!!!

Well, I need profesional help on my build because it's the first time I build my own system. I'll use it with Photoshop 3Dsoftware and new games. I hope you could help me and say me what would you change! Thank you! :)

Case: Antec Three Hundred
I'm nearly sure of buying this case with two fans and a lot of space

Power Supply: Corsair 750TX
I think I'll buy a 750W power supply because in the future it's possible I'll do a crossfire with two HD4890

CPU: Intel Core i7 920 with Noctua NH-U12P
That's is almost decided ^^

Motherboard:Asus P6T Socket 1366
I have some doubts about the mobo. I don't know if I should buy the P6T, the P6T SE or the P6T DELUXE. Or maybe any other motherboard like gigabyte. What do you think?

Graphic Card:XFX HD 4890 1GB GDDR5
Do you think it's a powerful graphic card? XFX is a good manufacturer?

Monitor:LG W2361V-PF 23" Full HD DVI/HDMI
FULL HD and HDMI are useful? Can I use a PS3 with it? And, the 1920x1080 is a good resolution and compatible with my grapic card?

Memory:Kingston ValueRAM 10666 DDR3 1333MHz 6GB
I've heard I should buy a 1600MHz memory because of his enhanced capacity, but his price increase...

HDD:Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB SATA2 MAESTRO
The first day I thought I should buy a 1TB HDD, but now I think I have enough with 500GB... I don't know :doh:

DVD:LG H22LS30 Writer Lighscribe Black SATA OEM
A simple writer with LightScribe hehehe

Keyboard+Mouse:Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave
I think it is a good keyboard with an optical mouse. Have you tested it?

Well, I hope my english is understandable :P Do you think is a good and powerful PC?? Any incompatibility? Please, change what you want!!!! :rolleyes:
Thank you!!!!
 
I would like to change one thing. The video card.
You have an Intel mobo, eith an intel CPU, and an ATI video card. It would be alot better to get an nVidia card. The 4890 will still work but not up to its full potential.

I would suggest you get either a GTS 250, or a GTX 260.

Everything else looks great, if you are doing any overclocking get a better RAM set, it will be worth the money.
 
Thank you Connor53, I think I'll change the ram and take the OCZ Platinum (1600 MHz)
About the graphic card... Is not the gtx 260 less powerful than the hd 4890?
Thanks!
 
Comparing a GTX260 vs a 4890 is like comparing a Lamborghini to a Ferrari. They are both quality, and they will server you well. I have used them both. And there is little to no difference.

also in this case the gtx will out perform the 4890 because you have a board with an nvidia chipset.
