There's nothing wrong with that build at all, but I'd swap the RAM out for this:

For £10 more it's a dual-channel kit. It's also slightly faster. Yes it will fill both of your RAM slots, but do you really need more than 16GB?

Are you going to be playing Ashes of the Singularity? Because that demands at least four cores so you'll need an i5.

Not quite right - that game needs four threads, which he'll have with an i3

Thanks guys, that's really helpful!

Good spot on the 1 x 16gig Ram, actually I hadn't meant to select that one

Regarding gaming, I've two small children so no time to game any more, if I do it'll likely be some older titles anyway. This just gets me out of a hole, which is both the home PCs dying a horrible death at the same time...

Out of interest, and given that the processor I listed is not out of stock, would the i5 6400 speed things up outside of gaming also?

I don't really get how integrating gfx works, all my rigs have had a dedicated card.

The i5 is a good chip, you'll likely notice no difference from the lack of raw clock speed.

The integrated GPU works fine, Intel have made great strides in improving the performance of the i-GPU with their latest range of processors.
