£500-£600 PC Spec

Hey all

My friend at Uni needs a PC speced. It needs everything, as well as a printer/scanner.

He'll mainly be doing word processing, with a bit of web development/programming.

Please and thankyou

It is over his budget but maybe with a little tweaking you can get it down to 600 quid. I like this spec because if he wanted to he can overclock.

Not a shabby spec. Would probably go for at least a 4300 though. And my RAM. Absolutely awesome stuff and it is insanely cheap. It was nearer 100 quid mark when I bought it!

Damn you Gibbo! *shakes fist*
