Building a computer for my dad he's a computer programmer.
So not sure exactly what I need in it :P

He has a budget of around £1000

Needs monitor, OS, keyboard etc

Would like 16gb ram, and an SSD.

Thanks for any help guys. :) You didn't let me down last time <3;)

Well you went for Sandy over Ivy and used a fairly uncommon SSD, personally along with most of the people here I prefer the Samsung 830. Also you specced 16GB of RAM which I guess depends on the level of coding whether or not it is needed.
