Hi all,

Would anyone be able to advise me on a build spec for a home Pc? Will be used for office stuff, web browsing etc.

It won't be used for any type of gaming, so graphics not really important. I'd rather concentrate on good general performance.

Budget is 500-600. OS required. Small but pretty would be nice too!

Thanks in advance.

No monitor required, keyboard and mouse only needs to be basic ones.

Both of those options look spot on. Thanks for a nod in the right direction!!

The AMD build negates the need for a separate GPU. Unless you really need one l would look at a GTX 750 Ti, most do not require a separate 6 pin connector and pair it with the i3 build.

Or you can crossfire the AMD chip with a R7 250 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-331-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1984

Also if going for the AMD build look to get faster RAM as the APUs benefit from this (as long as the motherboard supports it)
