Hello,
I would like to start by saying that I am from Latvia, so the available stuff for me is limited and my main question here is - do you see any bottlenecks or overkills in this system build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1rYCr
Yes, a $500 budget is with a monitor.
A small correction - I will be buying the case without the PSU (actual cost of the case w/o PSU in Latvia is about $25) and using a PSU that I already have. It is a rather crappy Energon, but my gaming PC survived with it for a year and it has 650W, so hopefully this build will not even come close to testing its limits.
The PC will be used mainly for Microsoft Office and online surfing with Windows 7 operating system on it, the only reason for 8GB ram and the dedicated graphics card is that the user will want to be able to use Photoshop. I know that an awful lot of money can be spent to build a proper PC for Photoshop, but the main point here is that it is possible to use photoshop without experiencing freezes and unbearable lags.
The system will not be used for gaming or overclocking.
So given this information, is this a well rounded build? Maybe there is something that can be downgraded without noticeable performance losses or is there something that slows all the system down? (please don't just say that all of it is slow - I am fully aware it's nothing special.)
I don't know, maybe I should go a completely different route with this one - your input will be greatly appreciated.
