So, I've been thinking about building a new desktop, but haven't done this before. My current computer (laptop) is used mainly for web surfing, with a few games and other basic tasks. Photoshop is a distant possibility, but not a certainty. The budget is $850.
Here's some lists I've put together. Suggestions, changes, and comments are welcome.

Which build should I go with?
Thanks!


 
Your builds look fine except for the GPU. I would guess that the on board i3 graphics is as good as the GT 730, but I would have to check to be sure. If you don't do much gaming, you may be fine with the on board graphics. You can always add a GPU later.

Thanks, it does appear that the HD 530 GPU is faster, so I will see how it goes without a video card.
