Purpose of this rig is for photo processing (RAWTherapee, Lightroom, Photoshop, Gimp) + Video processing(Avidemux,Avisynth,H.264 encoding, Xvid encoding).
All these processes are CPU intensive. The CPU matters most.
I will be doing "some" gaming. So forgoing a graphics card for now(unless I can find a DDR5 for under 5-6K)
Other requirements : < 400W power consumption
