I need to get PC for doing some web work. Dreamweaver, PhotoShop, FTP Client, and the other basics. I have no plans for gaming, so I hope I can get something that can run whisper quite....without the need for big loud fans and be able to multi-task without a hiccup.

Any suggestions? I only know of the core i7 for gaming.
 
Do you have a PC now? What is your budget?

I don't know how intense your photoshop editing is, but all benchmarks I've seen have been benefitted by quad core processors.

If you have a newer Socket 775 board, see if you can just upgrade to a Q9300 or higher processor.

If you have nothing and a small budget, building around a $100 AMD Athlon II X4 620 should do well.

If you have nothing and a medium budget, building around a $200 Core i5-750 processor should do well.
 
No PC now....I used to have a core i7 965 for when I was into gaming....that cpu ran adobe pretty well. Never seen the app load in under 3 secs. LOL Just wonding if I can get the same performance from a CPU not intended for gaming, $500-$600 on a CPU is my budget.
