Hi there - I need a PC that will be used primarily for image processing, photo editing, adding metadata on image batches, scanning using Nikon scan software and mild editing in Photoshop.
Do you think this spec will do the job? It doesn't need to be a powerful workhorse, but needs to handle the above consistently. My now defunct PC was running my software fine on XP - but can upgrade to Win7 if recommended.
I've opted below for the i3-4340 but have considered the i5-4670 too - any advice on which would work better for me is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
