    lol n00b with comps an stuff

    to get a pc that is best would be a custom... but if not then just get a name brand with something similar to these specs for your gaming and photoshop needs:

    Athlon 64 3200+ or Pentium 4 2.8Ghz with H/T
    1GB DDR PC3200 or 512mb dual channel DDR2 PC4200
    80GB hard drive (at the least, if you are avid with games and PS, then go 200).
    CD-RW/DVD Combo drive
    nVidia 6800GT (PCI-E or AGP) OR ATI x700 Pro

    thats to say the least for everything to run well, but im sure Defuzion has something better :P

    700.00 EUR
    Euro = 846.557 USD
    United States Dollars

    or

    600.00 EUR
    Euro = 725.620 USD
    United States Dollars

    I dont think we can/should go lower than 600. EUR...

    lets see..
    Do you want a monitor included in that? how about a mouse/keyboard? or are we talking about only computer parts.
    Will you build this yourself?
    What games do you plan on playing on this system?

    excluding monitor, this is what I would get:

    Amd athlon x2 3800+
    1gig dual channel ram
    x800GTO(if you have more cash go for the x1800XL or the 7800GT)
    2*80gig HDDs(set them in RAID0)
    Decent motherboard with integrated RAID...

    Not for the faint of heart though. I usually don't recommend that board to anyone unless I know they have a solid knowledge of computers, especially the BIOS. But if you do know it, it's an amazing board. I love mine.
