Hi guys

Been asked to help a friend with a new PC build as his 8 year old Medion is dying. Ive suggested a custom build with good parts instead of going down that route again.

He has been using CS2 for years with 12mp files from a D700 so doesnt need massively fancy stuff - in fact what Ive quoted below is actually quite advanced.

So just looking to see if the spec below is recommended, all the bits work in tandem with each other and if any suggestions can be made to lower the price at all.

Also will the OCUK guys build this for me/him and how much extra would they put on top for this?

Many thanks folks!

Rikki

PS: Sorry about formatting, looked fine in notepad :S

OcUK can take a look at your spec (post in Customer Service forum, for example) and quote you a build fee.

Thanks for that Danny, but he was looking for a lower price not a higher one :) Its just to run Photoshop CS2 from about 2009 and nothing too over the top.

I will post on the customer service bit though as suggested :D

Thanks

An i5 is more than good enough for Photoshop CS2, even an i3 will give decent performance as most tasks will be single thread limited.

Don't worry too much about Ryzen, it's a long time since AMD have had a decent offering, so people are now a bit over eager to spec it. :D

Bare bits, add your OS and HDD. Case can be made cheaper or different colour but Rajintek is small and high quality. Dont need ATX sized board but the Gaming 3 will offer some OC boost to the Ryzen 1400 Quad Core 8 Thread CPU.
you could go cheaper for basic Gigabyte matx B350 but worth spending that bit more on the Mobo
