Basic use / some gaming system needed

[Marff]

Hey

Basically my mothers laptop has decided to constantly run at 70 degrees c and the gpu seems to have overheated.. Sooo she's looking for a new desktop.

So basically a budget of £500 and we need everything including the monitor.
The pc will be used for basic internet (basic but for increased times) and some gaming (sims ect)..

 

[Marff]

Thanks for the reply buddy, she doesnt need that big a monitor so i shall sub that with a smaller one to save a bit of money.
Would anyone else recommend a different combination of parts?

 

[Marff]

Thanks for them both, i'll have a word with her and see what she wants to doo .

** She wont have a refurb part (shes weird) so what would be a good alternative gpu in a similar price range?

how many fans did u add to ur basket may i ask??
youll probably just need 1 or 2

3 extra for the sides and back of the case... pc's/laptops in my house always suffer from overheating soo... for £20 i thought why not.

 

[Marff]

Right thanks for everyones advice/component choices.. Im ready to order now just wanna check this lots all ok together/or anything i should change.

Save yourself 80 quid and drop Windows for ubunto. Other than that looks like your sorted

If the pc was for me i would, but its my mother and sister ho will be using it and they wont use anything bar windows....

Quick question... anyone know when the m/b will be in stock? if its a long time till it is what replacements would you suggest?
