    HI
    Currently running Athlon 64 V2 5200 2.7Ghz, 8Gig RAM, Nvidia 4850.

    The system crashes sometimes and has for a while. I suspect a faulty memory controller on proc.

    Anyway, looking for a new build of basics.

    I need a mobo, quiet cooling, CPU, RAM, and (possibly) discreet Graphics card.

    It's mainly for Photoshop, using some pretty hefty images (2d), but I also run Poser (3D) and am starting to use Turbocad Pro as well.

    Don't get time for gaming.

    Monitor is NEC Multisync 3090WQXi.
    I have a 650W PSU (enermax)
    Run Win 7 Pro
    Money is tight, so £350 is max.
    Don't care whether it's AMD or Intel, just needs to run as fast as possible. Don't know if current crop of onboard graphics are sufficient or a discreet is needed.
