5 star rated on Newegg Intel Motherboard
Intel 2.66GHz Quad Processor
GeForce 512mb 8800GT Video Card
2x Western Digital 7200rpm 3.0gbs/s 640GB hard drives
GSkill 4GB 240-pin DDR2 RAM
Pioneer DVD+R 20x disc drive
OCZ 700W power supply

I'll be using it for Photoshop and school work. Will it this build be very very fast and reliable?

I can make this build for $1093.98, that's including tax

This is a very good computer, especially for what you want to do. If you have the money though, I would reccommend going with dual graphics cards (Sli). Either way, you're mod should work fine.

Ya.............but dude. seriously. just go to best buy, get like, the 300 dollar desktop, upgrade the video card (and maybe hard drive if you do alot of hd foto stuff)

You really don't need such a powerful graphics card for photography - gaming, yes.
You can save a lot of money going with an AMD phenom and an onboard 780G chipset motherboard.
