Want to build a PC that will be all-around capable for a good while. I do gaming (though less these days) and lots of visual art stuff (photo editing, sometimes video, sometimes CAD, depends on the project), so I tried to aim high for CPU, RAM and GPU. Tell me what you think!
EDIT: Mouse/Windows 7 taken care of.
