Hello chaps, been out of the loop for a good few years (last desktop was a Pentium 4!) using a laptop but have decided to go back to a desktop. No gaming/not interested in overclocking (although going for the k processor for resale value) on the system, main aims are an all round workhorse (current system is very bit sluggish with multitasking). Want to keep the system small and quiet hence mini-itx
Case/PSU = Lian Li PC-Q02 (300W PSU included) - £100
CPU = Intel i5 3570k - £170
Cooler = Scythe Kozuti / Xigmatek Praeton - £20-30
Mobo = Gigabyte GA-Z77N-WIFI - £90
RAM = 8GB Patriot Viper "Black Mamba" DDR3 PC3-15000C9 - £30
SSD = Crucial M4 or Samsung 830/840 - £80-90
ODD = Samsung Slimline Blu Ray - £35 (may forgo completely or go for the DVD only drive)
Budget about £500-600, OS/Keyboard&Mouse will be sourced separately.
THanks!
