Need a Tower

[maklabouhlel]

A relative wants me to build him a tower pc for £400. No OS, No peripherals, just tower. He's a seller on a well-known auction site so needs it mainly for photoshop etc. Will be running dual monitors. Any suggestions would be welcome please.

Many thanks for your help. Isn't 16gb ddr3 overkill?

 

[Doomedspeed]

Depends on the extent of his Photoshop work. If its only light/med 8gb I'd fine but if its heavy (is playing with lighting and such) 16gb may be benifital.

The i5 rig would be my choice though.

 

[maklabouhlel]

Would the A10 7850K offer any significant advantage over the 7700K?

Not a massive amount.
