£500 mATX build query

[Trox]

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone can help out. I'm trying to piece together a £500 mATX build for my parents, it'll mainly be used for surfing, emailing, word.

Basically just after something very snappy, although anything will probably be an improvement over their ageing intel Q6600 system.

Items required are:

• Intel CPU
  [*]Intel mATX Motherboard
  [*]Memory
  [*]SSD
  [*]PSU

All of which possibly going in a Corsair 350D

So far this is what i have...

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Intel Core i5-6400 2.70GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail= £179.99
• 1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C14 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (CMK8GX4M2A2400= £38.99
• 1 x Asus H170M-Plus Intel H170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 Micro ATX Motherboard= £88.99
• 1 x Samsung 500GB 750 EVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps Solid State Drive= £119.99
• 1 x Corsair Builder Series CX 430w Modular '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (CP-9020058-UK)= £49.99

Total: £477.95
(includes shipping: £0.00)

Any help is appreciated!

Cheers

Copy that minus the gfx card.

Nice thanks stulid for the reply, not knowing much about the H110 and the H170 boards is there anything worth considering the H170 over the H110?

Cheers

Nope, not for parents.

I see theres m.2 but your going for a regular SSD anyway.

The memory that was mentioned in that other thread is out of stock. Bit of a saving at least!

Why not have that case+psu bundle?

Better PSU and the case is effectively free'ish.

 

[Trox]

Yea, it looks an excellent deal but I hate choosing something like a case as it's a bit more personal.

I'm going to show them a couple of cases I'll include that one due to cost. I like the look of the Corsair's 350 D but the window on it is a bit OTT I reckon.

Cheers for the suggestions mate
