Hi,
I have been given the task of building a sub £500 rig for work and wanted to know if I have gone down the right route. Its main objective is to run photoshop at a decent pace along with the standard array of apps you would have running in an office place and a dual monitor setup...
This is what I have;
Silverstone PS02B Precision ATX Case - £41.09
400W Corsair CX400W Power Supply - £43.03
MSI 770-C45A AM3 Motherboard - £50.68
AMD Athlon II X2 240 CPU - £44.52
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro v2 CPU Cooler - £18.67
4GB Corsair TwinX XMS3 DDR3 PC3-10666 (1333) Memory - £95.29
896MB Gainward GTX260 Graphics Card - £148.36
320 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 HDD - £34.51
Grand total: £492.88 inc. VAT & Delivery
What you think? Have I missed a trick here? It has been a while since I did this sort of thing to be honest. I usually upgrade old setups as much as possible rather than forking out on a new setup.
Thanks in advance CAT-THE-FIFTH
Chopski

Are you accusing me of playing games at work?! 
Well, that and the fact the the cheaper PSU manufacturers rate their PSUs to peak, and they can only provide 400W for more than about 5 seconds
That Corsair should be fine though - if you look back through CPU & GPU reviews Hexus's test systems rarely draw more than 200W - 300W
