Hi guy's need a basic PC for my office. Probably not going to run anything too demanding but I will be doing some Photoshop and Indesign. I'm not setting a budget but I want something small that's semi aesthetic and some punch to do them applications. I would just buy one of those NUC pc's but I've always preferred building from scratch just incase parts fail.

I will sort monitor/peripherals myself so what do you have? As cheap as possible.

I'm not really wanting to overclock it (I'm not sure that chip overclocks anyways?) and i'll just use the standard cooler. I will need a case yes i'll see what I fancy.
