    A PC for photoshop and games needs to be a lot better really. If you want to save money then you could build it yourself - otherwise aim to spend at least €1,000 - especially if you want it to last you.

    EDIT: Oh and your link is broken by the way. ^_^

    that would get you by for a little while though you'd in time want to swap for a better GFX card, also mroe ram 512mb doesn't cut it.

    it's not bad as is at the cost, but see if you can find an AM2 equivilent, performance diference is small but you gain the capacity to have a more diverse upgrade route.

    my guesstimate is that it would cost about what they are selling to build it, maybe a little less if you build, esp. if you aquired certain software through unconventional methods...

    My advice is to get the am2, they will discontinue the 939 and 754 socket eventually. Get a better video card and get at least 1 gig of ram, preferably 2 gigs, PS uses lots and lots of ram. 7600 gs is a decent video card for around $100, Idk why people don't like this video card, it's perfectly fine. Plus they have a silent design, pair this with the sonata II and you'll have an extremely quiet computer. Most people will shoot me down for suggesting this video card, and insted will suggest the x800gto or x850xt but if you read the reviews, this video card sounds like a hair dryer when running at high capacity. It also doesn't support SM 3 and other things, but if noise isn't a problem and you want the best price/performance get the x800gto/x850xt but you wont regret getting the 7600gs. It's basically a clocked down 7600gt. Also if your like me and multi-task a lot when doing PS, I suggest spending a little bit more and buying a dual core processor. I don't think newegg delivers to Europe, but if you want to point me in the direction of a site that does, I'll gladly put a list of parts together.
