I'm not the best at it but if you use program's like photoshop and other you could try for i7 for hyperhtreading which would increase the performance.

This mayu be suitable for your needs, im no expert though so i would recommend calling PCS and getting some info from them, hope this helps.

Hi i am also after advice for a new pc to do photo editing (elements 9),surfing etc but not really gaming.
surely an i3 would be enough with a decent graphics card and say 8 gig of memory.
i have been using a laptop and have bought a dell ips ultrasharp monitor but my old desktop which hasn't been used for a couple of years is ancient and not really up to the job.
