I hope its not pennies... LoL
lets see... If your version of adobe supports GPU processing then
$300 for a 670
$140 for 32gb ram
$220 dual 128gb SSD's
$80 for a 1Tb storage drive
$65 for a decent power supply
$200 for fx8350 processor
$150 for a motherbd.

woops thats 1150-ish already


Do you already have anything? Like case keybd and mouse?
 


A SSD is not really necessary and can be cut out. Also you can spend less on the motherboard and still get a good board.

I got my samsung 830 128gb's for $89 each last year. Fast harddrives that have good sustained tranfer rates are almost that much and wind up being much slower.
You'll definitely want at minimum a dual drive setup so you're not reading and writting to the same drive at the same time.

but yeah, we'll have to cut some corners to make budget. Too bad 64gb ssd's went back up in price too. I think we might have to wait a month or so for them to come down again for tax return season. LOL
