Good day to you escapists! I'm afraid I require the assistance of those of you who are more experienced than I am in the field of computers. I want to build myself a new PC to use for editing photographs and for gaming. I have some ideas in mind and I was hoping you could help me pick the best one, or maybe find a better solution. The biggest problem is the budget as I am afraid not to spend a lot of money and make a big mistake (like I did when I bought a very expensive nVidia 9800GT when the nVidia 8800GT would have been just as good and a lot cheaper). Unfortunately I live in Romania so it would be difficult to have an accurate price on the items I wish to buy. Nevertheless, my budget is around 610 euros at the moment.
These are the ideas I had in mind:
Processor: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz Eight Core or Intel Core i5 3470 3.20GHz Quad Core (more expensive)?
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD7850 Dual-X 2GB DDR5 256-bit or the 1Gb version?
RAM: 16GB DDR3 1333MHz CL9
HDD: Western Digital 1TB SATA-III 7200 rpm 64MB Caviar Blue
For the motherboard, power supply and case, I have very little options at the stores here in my country, so I will leave these out. But I would like to ask if a 500W power supply would be enough.
Thank you in advance for the help, I hope I am not asking too much!
