New build for photo editing - Build for my dad

[pyroman]

Heya,

My dads computer has bitten the dust and i'm looking at a new build for him, they do a lot of weddings so use photoshop/lightroom and general web browsing. Looking at something that'll last him for a few years, he has KB/Mouse, HDMI monitor, OS and hard drives already. Looking for about the £350/£400 mark if wifi comes on the motherboard then brilliant as they use a wifi dongle. He has 3 HDDs and a DVD writer so obviously needs a minimum of 4 SATA ports but probably needs 6 for future upgrades.

Cheers

I hope his drives are all SATA?

Are the drives etc still in working condition etc? Also, I don't think integrated WiFi solutions are that great, so best to stick with the dongle

Z97 board w/ heatsink and G3528 so you overclock the poo out of the CPU

750Ti for decent GPU-based rendering
I expect you'd want to choose your own case/colour combo but the Neos is excellent value

8GB RAM, will be supported by the Z97 board at the full 2133Mhz speed and allows an upgrade to 16GB in the future for enhanced editing etc
