Girlfriend build sayyy what

peonowns · 8 Jul 2014 at 18:48

Hey all,

My girlfriend has asked me to build her a pc but on a smaller then i am used to budget.

She has given £500 as the upper limit.
Would only really use it for internet / occasional gaming e.g league of legends.
She would mainly be using it for her artwork in say photoshop or the like.

So if anyone out there has some good ideas on a build to fulfill this requirement i would be most grateful.

Do you need an OS/Keyboard/Monitor/Mouse?

Thanks to everyone that posted

.
Sorry been a while i was away with work.

Will be looking through the items linked today

Some great system specs there, I'd tend to go for 'sandycheeks' 1st recommendation, simply because it has the best graphics card out of all of those suggested.
