I'm looking for information on two builds.

The first has to be £500 (can't be over).


The second needs to around £400, but there is wiggle room for up to around £450.


Both builds need everyone except for monitors, keyboards, speakers and mice.

Thanks

:) - What will these 2 builds be for? Gaming, general browsing?

The lower priced one will be for general use, however they'd like to be able to play movies in 1080p smoothly.

The higher priced one is really the same but they'd like to be able to play Battlefield IV. If that is at all possible on this budget.
 
For the gaming one.

Are both builds for the same person? If so, then you would be better off having a total budget of £900 - £950 for 2 builds and spending maybe £600 on the gaming one and £350 on the other. This would obviously change the 2 builds quite a bit. As you can see the gaming one above only has 4gb of RAM where as the other has 8gb. You could swap them round and the total cost would remain the same. Does that make sense?

I also put a blu ray drive in the second one but I'm not sure if there's a need for it? Do they watch films off discs or downloaded ones?

That's a shame. Looking back at that £500 one I think you might get a better one actually (done in a rush!). Easy enough to get it under.
