Wife wants a PC of her own to do her photoshop and etsy business work on. She uses it for designing projects and printing them out with a silhouette machine. Anyways I have only built myself a gaming pc so I am unsure as to what exactly she will need system specs wise. So I guess I am asking for suggestions on a office/work pc that will be reliable at be worth building myself compared to going to bestbuy and buying one off a shelf.
