I have a friend who wants to type his word documents and browse the internet. Quick loading times are a must. No gaming. Must do 1080p youtube. Budget is £300 but I'm trying to save money still. Needs to be small with disc drive. Wifi needed. Will this cpu keep up?

PS: The basket extension isn't working. Please Dons can you help me fix this list?
 
That will work fine:)

But have you thought about getting a 256GB SSD (Crucial BX100) instead of both those SSD+HDD?

Woah stulid you've been busy!

Will the Xigmatek blow up at 100% load? ;)

Nice builds. Need to keep the dvd drive internal though, like the first build you posted.
 
The Xigmatek wont explode, its modular so will help in those tiny cases.

The Xigmatek Maverick PSU has just landed at OcUK, in a spectacular 80's action film style. These units are 80+ Bronze Certified, Semi Modular and at a great price, offering more wattage for buck than other brands with similar specs! These units are made by Andyson, who whilst not the best OEM in the world, are able to make decent Bronze level units that can be relied upon.

Actually I think the PSU is too long for the case in the first build (140mm vs 160)

My friend is is really keen on the Isk 600. He really wants 1tb.

I'm thinking this is best for him right now. I swapped your suggested parts in. (Sorry about this messy list)

With my last spec I'm left with £30 left over. Where should it go?

I'm thinking to swap the PSU for a SuperFlower 350w
 
Swapping the PSU will gain zero extra performance.

Picking either a bigger SSD/two sticks of RAM/faster CPU will.
 
I was wondering about the quality of the PSU.

In your opinion which upgrade will boost performance the most?

Btw stulid, do you ever sleep?!

I cant sleep, to much false info/statements going around.

Not sure on performance as bigger capacity SSDs natuarally have higher performance numbers, the CPU might be nice.

Also the WiFi card, it was 150Mbps, a 300Mbps was a little more.
