Buying A New PC, Please Guide Me!

[triphp]

---

I'm going to buy a new PC within this week or next week. Akong maximum budget is P30,000. PC will be used mostly for web design/development - so ang mga apps lang that will run at the same time are: Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator & Dreamweaver, Firefox, IE6, IE7, Safari, Opera, Netscape & Mozilla Thunderbird.

Please advice me sa specs kay VERY, VERY, VERY little knowledge ko when it comes to hardware - keyboard, mouse, monitor ra akong nailhan

Ask pud ko estimated price with the different specs below nga nakuha nako sa mga online stores sa Cebu. Also please let me know if kaya ba mag run ani nga specs sa mga applications listed above nga di magka problema. And lastly, asa ko nga store mopalit...kanang maayo ug service and kanang kamao jud ang technician nga guidan sab ko..?
