Evening everyone,
I've been out the loop for a long time now and need a quick update on whats hot and whats not! I need to build a machine for the parents-in-law and really don't know where to start really...I have not looked since I built my machine when the Q6600 was the top of the pile
As with everything I do, I like to spend time researching everything before making a purchase, but I don't have time for that this time. I need to build the PC asap and preferably order it this evening when I come home from work.
Budget is negotiable, but i think around the 700-800 euro is where I would like to be. Few notes on PC use:
- The computer will NOT be used for gaming.
- Mainly Photoshop and lots of other photo editting work (photography nut!)
- general stuff, emails, browsing.
- Win7 please
No monitor, keyboard or mouse needed. Don't really care about a flash case, something practical and lightweight would be a bonus although not significant.
I hate to ask for help like this, but my wife recently had an accident and can no longer walk so a lot of my time is devoted to caring for her and trying to run my business. Ontop of that, I want to keep the inlaws happy and need to pull this off now as I pursuaded them to let me build one for them rather than spend stupid money on another DELL machine.
After a very brief look, the i5 750 looked like a nice CPU, but I'll see what everyone esle can recommend. Thanks all, much love
