New build for photoshop? (budget €900)

jewson

Ok so I am coming here on advice on building my first desktop.

I do graphic/web design and am looking to build a powerful machine to serve my needs.

I am looking for a desktop with an SSD as the primary HDD, at least 16gb of ram, i7 processor, good graphics card for when I want to take a break and game, USB 3.0, windows 7.

If anyone has any good build recommendations for that budget would love to hear them. Thinking of ordering this week.

Right it's 80 quid over, if you really need it within budget it can be done but the extra 80 is worth it.

If you aren't playing games at 1920x1080 then the 7850 could be dropped down to something lower.

I've included an overclockable i7 paired with the Z77 which will allow overclocks, it can be dropped down to a non-overclockable i7 + B75. That will save you bones of 70 quid but overclocking is very easy and will net you a lot more performance down the line.

Yeah I can go over budget a bit.

I might upgrade the tower to this http://lb.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=50989&agid=632

I am going to order later today.
