Spec me Up, Office PC

[lego]

Something for my boss, Pc used for Web Design / Graphics Design

App's Used

Photoshop/ illustrator/ Dreamweaver + various Serif apps. Uses a 3 monitor setup and often has 3 apps open, with 6 or 7 browser windows.

Not used for games.

At the moment he's thinking of something like this

Asus M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 AMD 880G
AMD Phenom II X6 Six Core 1100T
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9
HIS ATI Radeon HD 5450 1024MB GDDR3 SILENT Low Profile PCI-Express Graphics Card
1TB HDD
PSU

I've been out the loop for a while, the HDD and PSU are fine (have them already) I'm just wondering if there are better options for the CPU/MOBO/RAM/GC options. (this spec comes in at around the £300 mark)

Would going down the sandybridge road be a better option?

Thanls

if your boss has the extra money available, then something like this will eat the phenom for breakfast, lunch and tea:
1100T vs 2600K
2600K can be overclocked further too

this has absolutely everything in it. not sure if you need everything thats here, but i thought it would be best put it all in anyway

SSD should be big enough for windows 7, plenty of programs and the intel smart response thing of the Z68 chipset

not sure about the graphics card. while it should work for a triple monitor eyefinity setup, i have literally no idea if it will be powerful enough for what your doing
