Low Budget build

[Jumping_Bean514]

So this is my second Build that I will be ordering in the next few days, first is linked below. The person I'm building this for is a big time photo editor and that's about it. there will be a modest amount of multi tasking and I want the build to have same room for expansion. There will be extremely light gaming (as in like Disney games) along with a little Bryce work. There will be NO OVERCLOCKING on this one so I'm going with a stock cooler. I'm trying to keep the build around 600$. Comments and opinions welcome.

Other build I'm working on...

I would recommend more storage space for heavy video editing (1TB at minimum!), but other than that everything looks good.

The only thing Id change is the HDD to this: Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives

The Black edition is only 5 bucks more and comes with double the cache size.

I'd replace your current board and CPU with these... even though you aren't overclocking this board has better power regulation and the CPU is faster at stock

Intriguing.... You seen any bench marks to show even a slight speed increase?

That's the same case/psu combo I had in my original post. The reason I changed it is because that PSU only has a 4pin CPU connector. I'll consider upgrading to the faster drive though.

Edit: I switched to the faster drive... its 5$ wth.
