    Hi all. I'm thinking of putting together a pc for design work and some games.

    Adobe Photoshop CS5
    Adobe Illustrator CS5
    Adobe Flash and Premier
    Battlefield 3(medium-high)
    FarCry 2,3
    SplinterCell Blacklist
    Crysis 1,2,3

    This configuration fits my budget. As for the motherboard and video card which would be his apparently adequate.


    GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UDH5 V/S/R LGA1155 or FOXCONN H67M-V V2.0 1155
    INTEL CORE i5 3450 LGA1155
    ASUS HD7770 DC 1GB GDDR5 or ASUS GTX 650 1GB GDDR5
    4GB DDR3 1600 RAM G-SKIL RIPJAWS F3 128000-95
    SEAGATE SATA III 500GB
    COOL MASTER 500W EXTREME POWER
    CASE THERMALTAKE OVERSEER RX-1
    LG DVD SATA GH22NS70 22X
