hey guys,
so i have decided to make the switch and sell my mac and build a pc instead. now i am a complete pc noob but i have done a LOT of reading on this forum and i think that i have managed to design a pretty decent computer. now, i really do need some feedback from you guys as far as the quality of teh products, compatabillity issues or anything else that i should know. a few notes:
1) the video card is just something to hold me over till the 8800 are cheaper.
2) i need the 4gb of ram because i do alot of PS work and i do it with many other apps open in the background.
3) i already have Vista
4) i have no sound card because from what i understand, the integrated one should be good enough..
