Hi, I didnt know to add to one of the many new build post or start my own :)

A friend asked me to price a new build PC for him and I just want to run it past you first.
Just a decent spec no gaming just basic everyday use.
Fell free to advice on what needs changed.

Need to keep the total cost down as much as possible.

What kind of sata drives do you mean.
Thank you.
 
Optical drive mate:)

You can of course install Windows with an external optical drive or USB stick.
 
Hi again, yes :) he has everything else.
So that should be that then.
Thanks as per usual for all the expert advice.

Thanks.
 
Thanks again.
Nice wee offers there, especially the Zalman.

I've passed the prices on so I have to wait to see what he decides.
