	Hi. I'm pretty confused at what I should do. I'd like to keep the tower under 700 if possible. I need it for basic work, photoshop/video editing. I'd like to be able to watch, view, and in the future maybe edit HD movies. I'd like it to be quiet. My current rig is an older build my own from 2004 and it's very loud with the fans and such. I just want it on par with maybe an imac or my relatively quiet VAIO laptop. I don't need SSD or anything to make it super whisper quiet though. I'm not sure what to get as far as AMD, Intel etc. I do think i'd like a dedicated graphics card to improve performance there. Ideas? help please :)
