I am so far behind Please Help :)

I didn't go through your specs because I suspect you need to go back to the drawing board and do more research. Don't choose parts because they are "hot" choose for function. You said you wanted to do the following:

PURPOSE: Production Studio/Interactive Media/3d Animation/Modeling
Programming/Digital Photography/Gaming (only looking forward to Diablo III but would like to be able to play games coming out soon)
Music/Video Editing
Rich Internet App Development/Agile Development

Those require a high end machine. I would start with the best CPU I could afford, match the best mobo for it, max out the ram (you don't need the cutting edge gaming ram), then get the best vid card you can afford, then the best monitor (32" seems like overkill, I have a 24" widescreen and it is plenty big) The rest is just stuff.

Do the research and you WILL know what a good computer can do.

Good luck

also, get a mid tower case and you don't need an 850 watt PSu lol. Also, don't get two kits of RAM get 1 kit instead :P

This is my recommendation for a build.

ASUS DVD Drive x2

Samsung F3 500GB HDD x2 (Don't really know the use of two 500GB's over 1TB unless you're running a RAID setup. If you're just doing it for space, I would recommend the Samsung F3 1TB HDD instead.)

HIS 5850 Video card w/ promo code VGA161302

Windows 7 Operating System

Lian Li Lancool K62 Case w/ OCZ StealthXStream 700W PSU

OCZ DDR3 1600 6GB Memory w/ ASUS P6T Motherboard

OCZ DDR3 1600 6GB Memory w/ i7 920 Processor

Total: 1499.88. With discounts and shipping to postal code '32965': 1510.39

And why are you going for a GTX 260? A 5850 is a far better investment and especially if you are watching movies, working with photoshop amoung many other things :)

Well, the ones I picked are the second revision of the OCZ sticks, and so far the user reviews haven't complained about DOA's yet. It could be too early to tell, but I'm pretty confident about OCZ considering the perfect track record they have with me.

I would NOT go with the above configuration. An i7 is far superior in the above-mentioned "Production Studio/Interactive Media/3d Animation/Modeling", so going for an expensive CF configuration paired with an AM3 processor is plain stupid.

Also, why would you pick two drives? The OP's line of work will very likely require high data redundancy, and a RAID 0 or RAID1 array wouldn't be a very good idea considering it still hold a very high chance of corruption or failure when compared to a single drive. At a minimum, I'd suggest a RAID 3 array for the OP's system, or preferably a RAID6 array if the chosen motherboard supports it.

this case and this gfx card for the second build a ssd is a 2,5inch hdd with 10k+ rpm, it allows u to load faster but not so fast to pay the high priceNLahren

He can play off the SSD, if its a 30gb+ at least, where he can load a few games at a time and play off it is not like anyone is going to play between `10 games at a time anyways.

AMD is not planning to screw anyone over with any new sockets, as they are planning to release their new hexa-core processors on the exact same socket we have now, which is the AM3 socket at the moment. However, for your needs, I would recommend you stick with an Intel build as they are more powerful when it comes to photo/video editing and all that jazz.
