Hello
I know this is the place for specs and checks so here we go
Need a new build for Santa coming
Thinking i5 with a 5770 ,can be persuaded to go AMD
case just needs to look okay ,not bothered about psu,hdd or optic drive they are needed but I have nothing in mind
Only other thing is its going to be running Vista 32 bit so is 4 gb of ram worth buying or not
main uses are gaming ,photoshop and a bit of video conversion
currently using Q6600 and 3870 extreme system which is going

thanks in advance

Dave
 
Here is an i5 build but its a little over your budget.You could get a equal setup but a bit less if you go for AM3.

I'd go for a Samsung F3 drive over the WD Black a bit faster and its a bit cheaper as well. Dont worry if you have pressed the buy button though, the WD Blacks are still very good!
