This was a $400 budget workstation computer build that I put together for a client. The client's overall objective was to have a computer that can handle photo and video editing/rendering in Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Premier Pro, and After Effects, but the client's budget was $400. As a system builder, I acomplished his goal by focusing on delivering as much value for money, and price/performance possible. Below is a parts breakdown list of all the componets used in this project.
