£300-500 - No graphic card needed.

Hi

I'm looking to put together a PC mainly for use with Word and some light browsing / emails.

I don't need Windows and I'd like the build to be as quiet as possible.

I do need the following:

CPU (preferably an i5 - will be using onboard gfx)
Motherboard
Ram
PSU
Case (preferably as small as possible)
SSD (min 128gb)

Reckon it'#s possible with that sort of budget?

Thanks!

Oh you reckon? Interesting. So go with a £100 i3 coffeelake yeah?

edit: shows how out of touch I am with CPUs!

Cheers.

Why is that motherboard so much cheaper than the one I linked? Also, what's the difference between the ram I linked and the one you linked to make it cheaper?

 

[Freeman]

Chipset . Z is Intel flagship for overclocking and gaming . B is basic chipset for office
Ram speed s slower so less cost . B chip only accepts basic speed ram

Ok thanks

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that made suggestions. The PC has been built from the recommendations and is working perfectly.

Cheers.
