Hello

I received a message from a junior Overclocker.

"I was wondering if you could help me with a computer build for my friend, budget £700 and can run games at a decent rate. I would appreciate it if you could suggests some builds or a website where you can construct a PC to be built such as Overclockers: he has not built a PC before and would like it if a company could do it for him".

Okay budget is £700, I assume he has no monitor or OS.

Can it be done, I have a spare keyboard, mouse and loads of fans, ta pod x:D

Tried to keep to around £650, as the quote from OcUK will probably take you over £700. Just post the basket you finally decide on, in the Customer Service forum, and ask them for a quote.

Give him 2 x 120mm fans to add to the front of the case, plus a keyboard/mouse.

What about sound?
 
This is a budget but more upgradable Intel build and overclockable Pentium-K, and a better graphics card:

Wow awesome fellas, thanks very much indeed. Nice to see Intel and AMD solutions there, have already scoured Tohrazer tome, superb, thanks.

I am going to encourage the jnr clocker to build it with a bit of help. Incidentally I have a case they can have, what would they put £45 towards - a better screen?

Cheers Pod
