    Toying with the idea of putting together PC for the gf since her 5 year old laptop is acting up. The laptop is running photoshop fine for her usage with these specs, so anything over is an improvement:
    Athlon II M300 dual core 2.0GHz
    4GB DDR2-800 RAM
    Radeon HD4200

    1. What is your budget? 400-500

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Photoshop, id say the lower to middle spectrum of it, and general internet usage.

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? Yes

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? No

    5. Do you need a monitor? Yes

    5a. If yes, what size do you need. 19"-22" if budget allows.

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? Wireless Card and Card Reader and Speakers

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? No

    8. How can you pay? Bank Transfer/Credit Card/Laser

    9. When are you purchasing? No rush

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? North Dublin but should be fine.

    Done this up on HWV, didnt run it through discount site, would appreciate comments/suggestions. Keeping in mind I have a FX-6300 in my PC, so when I upgrade I can pass either CPU or CPU+MOBO down to this PC. I have the same case, card reader, wireless card and no issues with it worth mentioning.

    FX-4300 81,50
    ASUS M5A78L-M LX3 AM3+ mATX 44,09
    8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport CL9 DDR3 1600 61,88
    Sharkoon VS3 27,06
    Gainward GeForce GT730 Silent FX 2GB GDDR3 51,07
    Xilence Power 350 Watt 25,43
    WD Blue 500GB 45,65
    LG 22MP55HQ-P IPS 105
    LogiLink 2.0 5,36
    LogiLink Card Reader 3,99
    TP-Link TL-WN781N Wireless Card 12,59
    Shipping 18,99
    Total 482,61

    Windows from Reddit for 20, brings the total to about 503.
