hello everybody,
what do you think about this configuration for a workstation?

RAM DDR3 Corsair Value CMV4GX3M2A1333C9 1333Mhz 4GB (2x2GB) CL9
HDD Seagate Barracuda 750GB 3.5" 7200rpm 32MB SATA3 ST3750525AS
CPU Intel Core i5-2320 3.0GHz Socket 1155 95W GPU Boxed
Motherboard AsRock B75 PRO3 Socket 1155 Intel B75 DDR3 SATA3 USB3 ATX
Case Midi Tower Power-X GS3059 II w 500W power supply
CD/DVD-R Asus DRW-24B5ST DVD/CD 24x Sata Nero Bulk

It was meant for a mainly photoshop/office user with no particular needs for 3D graphics, so I did not pick any video card.
let me know anything you think about it and treat me as the nOOb I am please :)
 
The computer you listed should be just fine for what you're doing. The only thing I would to is to put 8GB of ram into it. RAM is so cheap these days, and you will actually notice it in applications as Photoshop. A small SSD along with that HDD would also give it a bit better performance, you can set the SSD up as either a cache drive, or a OS drive.
 
Im not massively up there on new intel chips, but does that cpu have on board graphics. If not your shit out of luck and will need to buy at least a low end gpu
 
If 1600mHz memory is close to the same price, get 1600 1.5v.
Like said for power supply. Corsair/Seasonic/XFX/Antec Neo or Green/Silverstone/PCPower&Cooling with bronze or higher rating, are some brands to look for because there are a lot of untrustworthy power supplies out there.
 
I would very much like this system with 8GB of RAM.
It'd be great to get another 4GB stick and make them run dual channel. (4GB x 2).
Does this mobo support (2GB x 4) multichannel?
The SSD suggestion is great too.
