Greetings gents
I'm interested in building a PC to use for web designing and having a hard time deciding what to settle for with so much out there. I used to be up to date many years ago before loosing touch with PCs. I'm getting back into it as I need one of for desinging, using softwares as creative suite, Photoshop etc including web development programms. Will also be using reason the music making programme alittle. Will also be the usual surfing the web, ms office etc
Since it won't be for gaming guessing I need to spend more on the graphics card, sound card and display monitor.
budget is around £550-650
Its something I've always wanted to do and so I'm diving into it now, just want to make sure I get it right as their's no room for error. Which is where you guys come in.
Have a few parts in mind, could you let me know If its good enough, future proof it if possible.

This is how far I have got. Need to choose a sound card if needed, graphics card and RAM.
One of my main concerns is choosing a good brand with reliable quality. Especially for power, ram, HDD.
Is the power supply a good choice any better alternatives?
For memory I went with Seagate as i've heard they are a bit less prone to damage not sure. Any thoughts on this please?
Will be using windows 7 as i've heard its better. Let me know what you think, plan is to order some parts now and the rest end of the month.
Thanks for looking,p & talk soon
