I'm reading the sticky's for different builds. But, thinking I may be looking at building a higher end computer than I need.
So maybe one of you kind souls can help me out.
My main needs are:
Fast for Adobe software - Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop
Very little gaming if any.
Lots of work with MS Office software.
A little video editing.

Which build on the sticky lists would you suggest? I'm thinking the high-end if overkill.

Thanks for any advice anyone can provide.

Welcome to the forums Kyle.

If it fits within your budget, the the High-End build would be the best option. Since you're not a big gamer, you could substitute the video card from a 5850 to a 5750 and cut about $200 from the total cost. If that's a little more than you really want to spend, then the Budget Build Step Above would also be a great computer for your needs, and I would still recommend changing the video card from a 5770 to a 5750. Photoshop or MS Office would run smooth as silk.
