Hi everyone!

Longtime lurker, firsttime poster.

Have an old rig at home in Sweden and am going to buy and build a new one in Switzerland (gf works there)
I spend half my time at home and half at my gf, since I work from home it doesn't really matter where I do the working from.
The laptop just doesnt cut it anymore so therefore Im building a new rig.

I want to upgrade my rig at home as much as possble by switching components between the old and the new rig.

I work with Photoshop, Illustrator & Cinema 4D (3D rendering) and only do a little gaming now and then.
I use 3 LCDs (HP LP2065, 20") so I need 2 GFXcards. I don't know if my choices are good and would be grateful for any input, but would prefer a motivation why component X is better than component Y if possible :)

Thankful for any input! Sorry for my bad english.


Red = Components in rig at home
Green = New components to by in Switzerland
Blue = New components to by in Switzerland or Sweden when I come back

the new biostar P45 seems to be very good, and memory, look for G.skill, OCZ, corsair, crucial
