Hi,
I'm looking to put together a desktop for office work and some light gaming (~£700 budget). I haven't built anything for about 15 to 20 years so would appreciate feedback on whether what I'm looking at makes sense etc.
What I'm looking at so far is:-
My basket at Overclockers UK:
I think some of it will be overkill for what I need however I thought better to over spec than regret in a few years.
I have a monitor / keyboard etc so the only other thing I will need is a case. Still having a look through these atm however if anyone has recommendations for a case for ~£50 that would be appreciated as well
Thanks.
