Could someone spec me a pc..

[ants83]

£500 budget. For a friend who plays football manager and browsing only really.
Looking to go Intel.
I have hard drives sorted for him, so just need the rest.
I think using the cpu gfx will suffice.

Any help would be great.
Cheers in advance

this is what i have got so far..

If its just Football Manager and browsing then something like this will be fine

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Intel Pentium K Anniversary G3258 Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail= £55.99
• 1 x EVGA 430W 80 Plus Power Supply (100-W1-0430-KR)= £33.95
• 1 x Asus H81M-K Intel H81 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard= £39.95
• 1 x TeamGroup Vulcan GOLD 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLYED38G1600HC9DC01)= £35.99
• 1 x Zalman T1 Plus Mini-Tower USB 3.0 - Black= £19.99

Total: £186.47
(includes shipping: £0.60)
​

Allows for CPU overclocking and a GPU at some point should it be required without breaking the budget.

OS, peripherals required?

Just wondering, would football manger benefit from 4 or more cores? I imagine so cos of so much number crunching.

I managed to loose my addiction to fm a few years ago but my brother is still into it. I gave him my 6600k rig in sig and he claims that it it not that much faster than his old 2500k

It works just as well on 2 cores. Went from dual core to quad and haven't notice a difference in processing speed in the past 6 versions.
No idea if FM2016 will be different, unlikely I should imagine. Just a quick spec check confirms that.
