| 1143637 | 2010-10-11 07:47:00 | With similar requirements (graphics) I built a machine in March using parts from Computer Lounge. The first one I've ever built, at age 63. It worked without problems and I am very pleased with it: CPU: i5-750 MB: GA-P55A-UD4 (has USB-3) Graphics: 5450 (has HDMI, DVI, no fan) RAM: 8 GB, 1333MHz OS: Win7pro64 If doing it again, I wouldn't bother with the 'pro'version of Win7. I would also go for a beefier graphics card, perhaps a GT 240 which is similarly quiet. I might also swap half the RAM (the cost of) for instalment on an 80 GB Intel SSD, 34 nm. I found Photoshop 6 doesn't work perfectly on Win7-64 but is adequate for me. Adobe Premiere Pro2 also has some problems but is just about adequate. Note that the current version of Premiere (CS5) requires 64-bit OS |

| 1143639 | 2010-10-11 17:41:00 | Computer lounge & Ascent are probably the best, I do use PB tech occasionally and have used Playtech as well but that was only to buy a GPS | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1143640 | 2010-10-11 18:42:00 | Well I just bought a new GPS, so won't be needing that. :). But thanks for the other two. Seems favourite vote is ascent. | dpDesignz (15919) | ||
| 1143641 | 2010-10-11 20:49:00 | If using CS5, I would get a Nvidia graphic card to off load the graphical processing to the CUDA programming on the card, The GF106 & GF108 variates of Fermi are due to be release anon, but if not available just get a 460 GTX 768Mb card... I would recommend an SSD for O/S and programs with perhaps a RAID 1 array for data. |

| 1143643 | 2010-10-12 01:38:00 | +1 for computerlounge's pre-built systems (if you don't want to build it yourself). They are very well priced and CL can customize them however you like. |
