[wind30]

i am looking to build a skylake system for photoshop, plus some light gaming and video encoding.

i need raid 0 for photo backup, around 4tb. i am also looking at a fast ssd. is the sm951 available in sngapore?

budget is flexible. hoping to do it under 2k but can go higher. not including monitor.

i am also looking for reliable components. my old pc has a sabretooth mb that is working well all these years

thx for any help
