Desktop tower spec - help needed

[PlanetPenwith]

Hi,

Sorry to bother you with this, I'm a newbie at this PC building malarky.


I am getting a Nikon D800 DSLR camera soon and would like some help with a PC build for my photography editing, what I need etc. I will be using Photoshop CS5/6, nikon D800 RAW files of 75mb....

Can you experts pick out a spec for a PC tower that will be able to cope with these files and programs? I would really appreciate this help. My budget is between £500 and £600. Not interested in looks, just something reliable and able to cope with the above ^^^

Many thanks in advance unk:

Here is an attempt at speccing, is it any good for my needs of photo editing? And is it possible to make it cheaper by changing parts and still be able to edit? You help would be most appreciated, thanks guys

Here's another spec, is this good enough or can I reduce the price in any way and still be able to do intensive photo editing? Im on a very tight budget, so any savings will be greatfully received
