Hi guys, im looking at getting a new pc and thought building my own might be cheaper :D.

I want it for editing photos and videos (as a hobby, not on a professional level. Basically needs to be able to run Photoshop well), watching movies (connected to my HD monitor), listening to music and all the other everyday stuff (word processor, internet, email etc).

This is what im thinking, just looking around atm:
AMD Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz Socket AM3


MSI 770-C45 AMD 770 AM3


ASUS HD 4670 512MB GDDR3 VGA DVI HDMI PCI-E Graphics Card


Coolermaster Elite 330 Black Case With CM eXtreme Power 460W PSU


Sony AD-7240S 24x DVD±RW DL SATA


OCZ Gold 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9


1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3


Belkin F5D7000UK 54Mbps Wireless Desktop PCI Network Adapter



Any advice on things i could change, either to improve performance for a similar price (im on the edge of my budget) or reduce the price would really help :)

Be nice, im new at this;)

Cheers, you're probably right about getting a better PSU and sticking with integrated graphics. Ive never overclocked before, i only have a laptop atm and it gets hot enough without any help :rolleyes: . Its definitely something i would be willing to try tho.

Ive removed the links and will now thoroughly read the FAQ ;) I was looking for "forum rules", should probably have read that first though.

P.S. coincidence, i live in knaresborough :D
