    Hi there, I'm new to the whole build it yourself thing but I've always wanted to build my own machine. I have an ok grasp of computing but am by no means an expert. No gaming requirements.

    1. What is your budget? €500-600

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer?
    Graphic design workstation (Adobe inDesign, Illustrator etc)
    Maybe use as a media center in my downtime so dedicated graphics card needed. Would like SSD and space to add HDD later.

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? Yes

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? No

    5. Do you need a monitor? No
    Current: FullHD 1920 x 1080

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? Yes, keyboard & mouse

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? If needs be, sure

    8. How can you pay? Any

    9. When are you purchasing? < 1 week

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? Cork, but would attempt the build myself.

    Any recommendations?
    thanks.
