My new Tower and I am loving it !
I originally order a top of the range Dell XPS 8930, but after checking out this PCS, decided to cancel the Dell and order bellow.
My main requirement is editing & processing large RAW files in Lightroom and Photoshop, but I also like to play a few games when I have time.
Tried the EZ automatic over clocking function and achieved 5GHZ. Turned it down for general work, but nice to know I have the power when desired !
My monitor is the BENQ 2700PT, which is a 2K 27" screen designed for photographers.
As I am new to the build my own PC world, I am interested in your thoughts regarding my build and any changes I should consider for the future.
