Need a new PC
Yep it's that time again and I need a new PC.
I looked at Macs but to get one that will do what I need it to do it is going to be far more money than a PC would cost so fuck Mac in the ear with a stale penis.
OK that said what I need is...
Enough power and RAM to operate Image editing software (PS) Audio editing software (Reason), and video editing software without having to reboot every couple hours.
this is not a gaming rig and I do not want to spend more than $1000 on it total because it isn't worth that much to me...sub1k mark is the goal and preferrably biggest bang for buck factor. If I have to buy a comp and upgrade the vid card I am good with that too.
So come on geek squad point me in the direction I need to be in and I would also prefer if the comp was backwards compatible to run XP...I still don't want Vista anywhere near me if I can possibly avoid it.

I'd show you my setup that I did around $1100 at the time, however it runs on Vista 64-bit 
. On the flip side of the coin, I multitask the shit out of it (I run at least 90+ process at a given time) and it breaks no sweat at all. I still have yet to OC it. But the main components are:
Q6600
8800GT 512mb VGA
750gb HD
4gb DDR2-1066 RAM
