I need a computer that will handle photoshop, vegas or similar, be able to play games such as cs and battlefield 2 and make music on fruityloops.

Will this be a good computer, may also be possible to upgrade in the future if need be..

Many thanks
Alex

lose the link to the competitor, just list the specs and the price for us to compare.

but my first thought is "oh dear"!

whats the budget for the computer? or is £320 it?

I would go with limited future upgrade and poor gpu.

What is your max budget.

Yeah you should probably lose the link to a competitor

But aside from that, it's pants.

Edit: beaten to it

Athlon II X3 - £60
Gigabyte MA770-ES3 - £60
2GB DDR2 - £45
Corsair CX 400W - £35
640GB WD Blue HDD - £45
SATA DVD Writer - £15
Coolermaster Elite 330 - £25
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro rev 2 - £16.24

Then you've got the question of graphics, which depends on your budget. Anything from a 5450 to a 5770 i think.
