Hello,

I am currently looking to purchase a new PC specifically for photoshop use. and internet browsing.

I don't play any games so gaming ability is irrelevant to my needs.

I have been looking at the Dell machines, specifically the Inspiron 580.

My budget is <£600.

They have two machines one with an i3 Processor 550 (3.20GHz, 4MB)and the other with an i5 Processor 760 (2.80GHz, 8MB).

Which processor is better?

I am pretty much PC illiterate so all assistance gratefully received especially if anyone has any other recommendations.

RAM wise I was looking at a minimum of 6gb.

Many thanks in advance.
