I need some advice please folks, I'm planning on buying a new computer and although I won't be using it for gaming at all, I'll still need a bit of punch for my photo editing. When I got my present computer built for me after selecting the components I wanted, it was the bees knees but that was ten years ago. (AMD 2000 a massive 80G hard drive etc) I'm pretty sure I could build it myself but there's a few issues I'm not too sure about if things don't go smooth, so I've decided to have one built. There seems to be that many choices with motherboards and memory etc, but I think the Intel i5 2500 would be ok as a start as I don't intend overclocking, but I need advice on a case, graphics card, (would the one built in do me) etc. My budget would go to around £900 or so, and if possible I would like an smallish SSD drive with say a 1TB to go with it. It was always suggested that you should get the highest spec what you can afford, or do you think I am going over the top for someone who doesn't have his camera with him all the time and maybe just edits 20 or 30 images every few weeks or so? Your advice would be very helpful, as one minute my minds made up, then the computer mags come out and I'm back to square one.
