Hi guys, recently been asked by a mate to spec him a pc (which his uncle will help him build) for around £700, now unfortunately that needs to include a monitor and OS so we're really looking at just over £500 on hardware.
Here's what i was thinking:
Intel Core i5-4460 3.20GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £134.99
AOC E2460SH 24" Widescreen 1ms Gaming LED Monitor - Black £107.99
Gigabyte H97-HD3 Intel H97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £74.99
Corsair Builder Series CX 600w Modular '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £59.99
Antec 300 Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case - Black £40.00
Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM £38.99
Samsung SH-224DB/RSBS 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) £19.99
Which totals at £476.93 so £75 for OS and £150 for a gpu (im going to send him some RAM i have spare 4x2gb of those ocz sticks that were on sale ages ago)
Just threw that together quickly to get a rough idea of what i can get in the budget, need to read up on the motherboards for haswell as im completely out of the loop
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys, thanks in advance
