Apple specs vs. PC specs; irrelevant?

Great setup. Have an i7 2600K myself @ 4.5 ghz. The i5 2500K will perform the same for games, difference between 6 and 8 mb cache will be minimal.

You'll get an extra 25% increase or so in multithreaded applications with the 2600K though due to its hyperthreading which will be nice for Adobe applications. Buy a 3rd party CPU cooler such as the Coolermaster Hyper 212+, Intel stock heatsinks are crap. And yes, I'd suggest cutting down to 8 GB of RAM, 1600 mhz DDR3 preferably.

You do not need 16 GB. I have that exact same hard drive, it's been great for the last year. Nice and fast for a non SSD drive.

Very good setup, I have a single 6950 and ive tried that in eyefinity and I still manage 2 pull a framerate of over 60fps on BFBC2.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
