Evening all
Was just wondering if you could help me out a little, I have been asked by a friend to build a basic(ish) machine in order to allow him to use the net (Email banking etc) and also to do his taxes etc.
Now I was tempted to make a ludicrously basic system that I could throw together for a pittance, but I have a budget of £400 (this must however include a monitor) and would like to give him the best I can build for his money.
I am slightly limited by which suppliers I may use as I live in the UK and only trust a couple of companies. So I have managed to compile the items listed below in what I belive to be a decent system with the possibility of upgrading slightly if he decided to spread his wings a bit in the future.
Anyway here is the proposed build
Case. Scan.co.uk: CiT 2016B Black Midi Tower Case - 2016b £16.74
PSU.Scan.co.uk: Storm Black Edition STORM-600W 600W Power Supply (PSU) £20.38
CPU: Scan.co.uk: AMD CPU Athlon II 255 Dual Core Processor - ADX255OCGQBOX £45.06
Motherboard: Scan.co.uk: Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-US2H AMD 760G AM3 Motherboard £49.91
RAM(4GB) Scan.co.uk: Corsair Memory XMS3 Classic 4GB DDR3 1333 Mhz CAS 9 Dual Channel Desktop - TW3X4G1333C9A £25.69
HDD Scan.co.uk: Samsung Spinpoint M7 500GB 2.5" Notebook Hard Drive - HM500JI £38.21
DVD writer Scan.co.uk: SATA 22x DVD Writer SAMSUNG SH-S222AB/BEBE £15.00
Monitor Scan.co.uk: AOC Maskk N941SW 18.5" LCD Monitor Black 59.98
Cheers for any feedback, Im pretty new to all this so if Ive made any jawdropping mistakes then please be gentle.
My thanks
