    I just got hired to a new job, making alot of money for my age. The first big investment I'm going to get is a new computer. I have heard that building a computer is better than buying a commercial PC. What I need help with is finding parts that will make this a great computer.... I have no spending limit, but I don't want ---- that will be useless to me.

    The main things I will be using this computer for is games like Battlefield, CS, Photoshop, Video editing, and having alot of music. Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

    It is expected to be released in the next few weeks, with ATi/AMD releasing the R600 in January.
