Sorry it took so long for me to reply. That's a bummer about the pins on the power supplies and motherboards. Why am I not surprised?

The system you're using now is pretty close to what I'm thinking, although my pockets probably aren't as deep. I'll probably settle for an I7, and I think the graphics card will end up being an RTX 5070. I do want to get as much Ram and Video Ram as possible. I'm thinking 64gb for the main memory, and 16gb for the graphics card. I mostly do Photoshop and Lightroom, but I'm thinking I'd like to try editing some 4k video. I have three cameras that can shoot 4k, and it would be nice if I could put them to good use.

Now I just have to wait for some extra cash to come in! LOL!

Thanks for the advice.
