What computer to buy?

[arcon5]

We need a new computer at the shop as our current two are poor performers and i'm wondering what I need to be looking for.

All I know is we need alot of RAM (4GB maybe?).

The only programs that will be on it: Photoshop, 2 large format printer drivers, FTP software, email/web client/browser and our inhouse management software.

Use: sending files between the sizes 5MB - 60MB to a printer (and print queue) very quickly. So we can send about 5 images at once whilst preparing the next one. (Will usually have no more than 6-7 files in the queue at once).

Not sure what to spend, but nothing major. Just wondering what the minimum spec would be to perform these tasks?

The task which you will be using the computer for aren't that demanding,what is your current computer config??Maybe you can upgrade your current config and clean up your computer a bit and make it faster.


Also if you want a new build only ,then this is what we need to know
1.Budget.
2.What all components,like HDD,monitor,ODD,OS,Keyboard Mouse.
3.Which site would you be buying for
4.How big do you want the tower to be?
