Hi all
I need to build a new system/base unit for basic photoshop/office work - no op system is needed as i will be getting a student discount version and i have a decent 24" monitor. I wont be using it for games and will use the onboard graphics for now as its basic photo work in photoshop however i may invest in one in the furure if needed - i need to keep the budget as close to £300-350 as possible. I am currently using a cheap toshiba laptop L450d-13x with a 2gh processor and 3 gig of ram so anything will be better really but to give the laptop credit it does cope ok even when running the 24 in monitor, just a bit slow a times with the processor. I have come up with the following spec and would welcone any comments on compatibility, recommendations etc but i would like to keep it under 350 all in
cheers
will

cheers for the fast replies - i thought the psu was too good an offer to refuse at the price when whe coolmaster was only a tenner cheaper but the case bundle could be a good option if you the the coolmaster psu is reliable? i dont like the idea of a cheap one going haywire and killing stuff but I am well out of date with specs etc and whats good and not so good
 
thanks for the info - i swapped for the hard drive on offer as i can see no differance between the spinpoint F3 and the spinpoint F1 except for the price and the tenner saved means i will stick with the antec then if i do update the graphics card i should be ok
are the standard couriers ok with delivery I have never heard of them?
