Hi, I'm looking for a machine suitable for photo/video editing.
My budget is between 600/700 euro and I tried to create something in the configurator (The Editing V500 PC)

The main specs are:

Processor (CPU): Intel® Core™i5 Quad Core Processor i5-4670 (3.4GHz) 6MB Cache
Motherboard: Gigabyte H81M-DS2V: Micro-ATX, LG1150, USB 3.0, SATA 6GBs
Memory (RAM): 8GB KINGSTON HYPER-X GENESIS DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz, X.M.P (2 x 4GB KIT)
Graphics Card: 2GB AMD RADEON™ R9 270X - DVI, HDMI, DP - DX® 11, Eyefinity 4 Capable
Hard Disk: 1TB WD CAVIAR BLACK WD1003FZEX, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64MB CACHE (7200rpm)
Power Supply: CORSAIR 450W VS SERIES™ VS-450 POWER SUPPLY
Processor Cooling: Super Quiet 22dBA Triple Copper Heatpipe Intel CPU Cooler (€24)

I'm very confused about the graphics card (in the configurator there are more than 20)

Is the triplet CPU/MB/Graphics card good enough?
8GB of ram are enough (I will install Win7 Pro 64bit)?

Do you have any idea where my configuration lacks?

Thanks

Looks good to me, 8Gb should be fine as yor only using an i5. Not that the i5 is a bad processor, its very good. Just probably an i7 would have liked 16GB. But that a non issue for you due to budget concerns.

I think you should just go ahead and order, it is spot on.
