New Build €400 - Non gaming

NeVeR

I've €400 to spend on a new PC build

I will be using it for Adobe Photoshop/Indesign/etc. I sometimes us 3Ds max. I will us it more later in the year.

I've the following
Monitors
Windows OS
Keyboard/mouse

I'd like the Graphics card to have a hdmi output.

I've built PC's with AMD in the past so i'd like to stick with that.. As i might over clock as well.. and it's a lot easier with AMD.. But thats a might.

Can ya's post some spec. I'll be buying from Hardwareversand

Cheers

Install Windows from a USB, drop in a graphics card later as the budget wont really allow it.
The motherboard has a HDMI port though.

Here's how it performs (a teeny tad below the i5 2400)

Nobody here is gonna spec you an AMD build.

Never used an AMD build myself, but I can't imagine overclocking an AMD chip being much easier, when overclocking an intel one is just pressing 3 buttons, literally.

Yes. They have nothing that really competes with the i5 of i7 at all.

It's not that there is no love for AMD, it's just if you want value and performance Intel is the CPU to go with at the moment.
