Doing major upgrade. ~£400 Budget! Can you come up with something better?
Hey guys. Would really appreciate to hear your suggestions here. I've got to do an upgrade for £400 (can stretch to around £430 if I have to) and I will need:
RAM
Motherboard
CPU
SSD HDD
2x120mm fans
Non gaming rig. Heavy web browsing, MS office and Photoshop, NO overclocking.
My friend did a quick spec earlier and came up with this:
Intel Core i5-4440 3.10GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £139.99
TeamGroup Vulcan RED 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLD316G1600HC9DC01) £115.99
MSI Z87-G43 Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard - FREE Alpenfohn Civetta Cooler!! £86.99
Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE120BW) £79.99
2x Arctic F12 Case Fan - 120mm £7.96
Sub total: £359.11
Shipping: £9.00
VAT: 73.62
Total: 441.73
Can you do better?
Thanks!
