Photoshop Workhorse £700

[PiKe]

Could someone spec me a machine for Photoshop work, might like a raid 5 array if the budget allows, must be dual core, must have lots of RAM and finally the graphics card must support Pixel Shader 2 for the Vista UI.

No screen/mouse/keyboard required.

Price to meet is Ex VAT.

Thanks

Using slightly dated components, but a cracking system for PS (to use RAID-10).

(you'd probably be able to build a very similar system using AM2 components, just change the RAM and motherboard... should still be under budget)
