Hi all,

Friend has asked me to help him spec a PC and just asking for some of your guidance really. PC will be primarily used for Video/photo editing and slight bit of gaming. Does not need to include a monitor or mouse/keyboard. Has a budget of £500 to spend. Obviously if the price is lower then more than happy :)

Thanks all.

Or up the cpu to an eight core (with a better board to handle it) and use a clearance GFX card,
