I’m trying to build a comp just for running Photoshop and flash without lag or slowing down I need a real good processor , i want speed , dual core would be awesome , so basically good speed and real cheap , any recommendation-thanks to all who read this
 
Yeah, definetly a Core 2 Duo. It will definetly do whatever you want. Just don't get a very high end video card and you can easilly keep the price down, if that's what you desire...
 
I'd say a:
Intel E6600
2GB DDR2 800 (CAS4, ie, Corsair XMS)
Motherboard (ASUS P5B or Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3)
7600GS graphics....
 
E6600: $310
2GB memory: $250
Motherboard: $125-$160
7600GS: $75

Course you'd need a power supply ($40-$50), Case (~$50), Optical drive (~$30), Hard drive (~$80 for a 250GB)

can i do SATA , and stupid ? here but can i build this with a small tower and not so big , kind of like the hp its a quarter size of a regular tower trying to stay below 500 if at all possible for all of this
 
Yes, you can do SATA; yes, you can do a small form factor case.

$500? Okay...let's see.
E6300 ($189)
Motherboard ($110)
1GB memory ($125)
Video card: ($50)
Power supply: ($40)
Case: ($60)
Optical drive: ($30)
Hard drive ($50)

EDIT: $654...lemme try again

EDIT2: I hesitate to go less than this...will you need windows XP with this? Probably?

AMD A64 X2 3800+ (AM2)
Biostar Tforce 6100 AM2
G.Skill 1GB Dual channel DDR2 800
Gigabyte 7300GT (with silent cooling)(You can cut this out and add one later if you can't do it now, (that would take out $78) because the motherboard has decent integrated graphics. Not ideal, but okay)
Western Digital Caviar SE 160GB hard drive (7200RPM, SATA2, 8MB cache)

Case (MicroATX)
XClio 450BL PSU
16X DVD Burner

wow cool very cool im jumping on all except the case but then again cant complain for the price , thanks JET for the research you did to find all this
 
I don't think you probably can go higher than $650 or so, but if you can, upgrading to the Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 and getting a MicroATX motherboard that would support it would add around $75..
