    Think it's coming to the time of a new build for me. Current rig is a little old now, and I've noticed a few slow downs.
    Current spec is:

    Radeon HD 6850
    AMD Phenom II X4 840
    Cooler Master Hyper TX3
    8GB of ram
    MSI 870U-G55
    Advance MPT-6500 PSU
    AEROCOOL Strike X Case
    Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB (On it's lasted legs, waiting on a WD Blue Cavier I ordered last week)
    Seagate Barracude - 80GB (Windows 7 64bit installed here)

    I've gotten more and more into PC gaming lately. Current spec has been ok for it most of the time. The main thing I noticed slowing down is Photoshop, and other Adobe programs. Can't stand it! I could spend up to 8 hours a day using Photoshop, so even the smaller slow down makes me want to rip my hair out!

    1. What is your budget? Whatever is needed. Ideally Under 700

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Design work / Gaming

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? Nope

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? Yes - New HDD, Disk drive, case, if needed.

    5. Do you need a monitor? If it was possible to include a good monitor for design work, sure, if not, I'll take recommendations and consider adding extra to budget.

    5a. If yes, what size do you need. NA

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? 1920x1080 (HDMI), 1366x768 (vga), & 1366x768 (dvi)

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals?

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? Yup

    8. How can you pay? PayPal, Visa, Skrill, etc

    9. When are you purchasing? End of month

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? NA
