Hi all,
I am going to build a PC for my wife which is a graphic designer, so she mainly uses photoshop, ilustrator, etc.
To be fare, I am not really sure what are the main requirements for such PC, but I am assuming that a good balance between processor, video card, memory and HD. Each new version of those programs seem to need more and more resources and I would also like the PC to last for a good few years, or have the option to easily upgrade it.
After the intro, here is my summary:
Approximate Purchase Date: This month
Budget Range: around 700$ + monitor.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Graphic design, surfing the internet, watching movies and occasionally gaming.
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, OS
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Not really a preference... the cheaper place I guess.
Country: Kansas, USA
Parts Preferences: No preferences...
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No, unless I am recommended to do it...
Monitor Resolution: The higher the better.
Additional Comments: I would like a quiet PC, here my option to go to be-quiet power supply and SSD
Here is the part I have selected:

Intel Core i3-3220 3.3GHz Dual-Core Processor ($118.98 Outlet PC )
Gigabyte GA-H77-DS3H ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($95.98 SuperBiiz )
