Hi
I have offered to build a PC for a friend who's at college.
He mainly wants it for Photoshop and Pinnacle - but it can't cost more than £300.........
My thoughts were:
Athlon quad £75
M/board £? Suggestions please.
Memory £30 (2gb either DDR2 or DDR3 - there's not much in the price now & he can add more).
DVD/RW £15
HDD £55 (1TB) Hitachi/Samsung
PSU £30 (Have scan had the FSP 700w on cheap lately?)
GPU £? (just a cheapy for now?)
Case £30 (something with flashy lights - he`s only 18 - going on 12)
Any help appreciated, particularly with regard to the mainboard, because I haven't got a clue!
Looking back at the price, maybe integrated graphics with the option to fit a G/card later?
Or should it be Intel?
Or maybe reduce the HDD size?
Please help!
