Will build a PC for a mate intended for Photoshop CS5 and also for the odd game. The Photoshop work will be designing vector logo's and editing photo's (12MP max).
It would be nice if the machine had an upgrade path. I'm not sure as to what will give the longest life, an 1155 build or an AM3.
Approximate Purchase Date: The next month, unless something better will come out in the next 2-3 months.
Budget Range: $600, no rebates.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Photoshop CS5, some gaming,
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: None
Parts Preferences: No preference
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
