Recommend Rig $1000

[yunie_]

I will be using the computer for web surfing, photoshop and movies. I am kinda of an audiophile so I want a good sound card as well.

Don't know if this makes any difference but I open many tabs and programs at any time to develop my website. photoshop, word, alot of tabs, email, etc. So I need a system that can allow me to multitask efficiently.

I will need OS. I will need a monitor as well but not within the $1000 budget.

any kind soul?

Need Windows and/or Wifi adapter to go along? And what sound system are you using for it?

don't need wifi adapter. will need windows even though i am seriously thinking of going to the pbay to get one.

using creative t40 now but will get AE5 or some bookshelf in the near future.

Money not enough unless you went on trek.
Do consider purchasing a separate USB based external DAC to pair with your future AE5.
