You talkin to me?
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); In a few months I plan on building a custom computer but I need help picking out the components

I'm getting the thermaltake commander snow edition case

I would prefer an Intel I5 processor and atleast 8 gigs of ram

I will mainly use the computer for graphics (Photoshop,cinema 4d,ETC) also for patch editing /modding

My budget is between $600-700

That last part makes absolutely no sense.

@OP, is that case separate to your current budget of 600-700$ or included?

Here's a barebones kit that includes the pc case you prefer as well as an Intel i5 quad core processor. This kit only comes with 4gb of ram, but you could easily buy 1 more stick for 8 gb's total. Pretty much the only other things that you would need to add to this system are a decent CPU cooler, a dvd drive if needed ($20 or so) and a graphics card for gaming and/or your graphics stuff. With 2-$300 left over, you could get a number of good gfx cards and a decent cpu cooler. You may want to budget in a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse, too. Those items can jack up your cost very easily. Here's the link for the barebones kit...
