Another Build!

ManiacVirus · 12 Jul 2011 at 15:47

OK so my cousin was impressed with my last build and now wants me to build a budget PC for him.

The main uses will be general web browsing, web hosting and possibly light gaming.

Budget is around £500 and he will need everything.

Do you think this is possible? If so throw your recommendations up!

I was thinking maybe a i3 configuration.

Man u guys work fast I haven't even done making a list yet!! LoL

Nice one guys. I'm guessing he may want to go slightly over budget and get a 24" monitor as that's what I've got..

Guys Thanks so much once again!
A lot of choice there but I think Murray has nailed it!

I will run the spec past him then get on with the fun part!

Only thing I may change is the keyboard and mouse, and chat about games etc.
He don't play games at all at the mo, but after seeing mine the other day he seems to think he might get into gaming in the future. The option of adding a GPU later may be the best idea.

This is pretty much it I think http://www.overclockers.co.uk/viewcart.php

Mouse and keyboard to follow as really they are personal preference. what do you think?

Ahh I spent a while trying to work out how Murray did that. lol

i would ditch that GPU and just use onboard, also get the MSI H67 instead.

How good will the on board GPU be? and which H67?

cool feature that! Can it be used anywhere else or was it developed just for OCUK?

ManiacVirus · 22 Jul 2011 at 16:45

Cheers mate some good options there, The guy I was building for has now joined OCUK on my recommendation, Chances are his budget may grow after being on here for a few days. I may have to have a re-think soon. Watch this space.
