Hello, been looking for a new PC, and got something picked up already, but just couldn't decide with the rest. Also I do not have any recent experience with building pc from components, just from what I read recently. So I'm not sure if things I have chosen are compatible and is it the best I can get for a budget.
My budget would be around £900, but I could stretch to £1000 for a round number. And I'm mainly using pc for a office style purposes, though I like having gazilion tabs open, as well as programs like photoshop at the same time, and with my current 6gb of RAM I find myself constantly reaching the limits.
Also from time to time I like to play some games, like FSX or Train simulators, which on my current laptop barely running but I expect the new pc to to run them smoothly on full HD resolution. In the future I also plan to run on two monitors.
I'm not familiar with OC, but as I understand with appropriate components, like i5-3570K, CPU cooler and proper mobo there shouldn't many difficulties.
I'm only looking for a ~250GB SSD, I have couple external HDD's, and thinking that I could use one internally.
This is what I have chosen so far, though I have doubts about mothercard. And it is missing GPU, CPU cooler, CASE and thats probably it. I would like the CASE have a simple solid look, no LED's required.
YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £179.99
1 x Crucial RealSSD M4 256GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive (CT256M4SSD2) £164.99

1 x OcUK 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £16.99
Total : £638.89 (includes shipping : £10.00).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
