I am going to help my brother build a new computer and he wants to do it from scratch.
I built my own a couple of years ago but components have changed since then so if anyone has the knowledge I would appreciate your input.
He is looking to spend around £500 and that includes everything but the monitor.
He's not into games but wants a good fast processor with good motherboard that supports sata and ide. He doesnt want to buy the components because they are cheap but not the the most expensive either.

Thanks

What does your brother want to use the PC for, exactly? You can have a fast processor, that's either dual or quad core. :P

General browsing, some photo work, graphics.
He's got a real old Sony computer and he just wants to upgrade it so its fast to display images etc, like I said he doesnt play games but he does use it to make slide shows and video. I think dual core would be enough but with a motherboard that could be upgraded to take a quad in the future.

Thanks
