That's what I'd "Milk" them for and add a OS (there is a free 3 month trial of windows 8.1 you can use) and maybe the GPU I wanted out of my own pocket, although I'm sure the IGP will do you just fine really.

Haha, thanks!

I'm not really looking to milk them, and I think, contrary to what I said earlier I will Have to include an operating system, if you were to down spec just enough to buy a Windows 7, how would you do it? If you don't mind :)
 
Also, Hono, the upgrades in the SSD and the Motherboard mean nothing to me, I have no idea the difference between those more expensive ones and the ones previously mentioned? would you say they were worth the upgrade.

Sorry to be so complicated. And again, that you so much to everyone contributing.
 
Sorry again, I have just found out that I can get:

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional N with Service Pack 1 32/64-bit (English) - DreamSpark

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1 32/64-bit (English) - DreamSpark

Microsoft Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 Debug/Checked Build 32-bit (English) - DreamSpark

or

Microsoft Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 Debug/Checked Build 64-bit (English) - DreamSpark

for free on the back of a university partnership with something called Dreamspark. Which version would be best. They're probably all similar but I have no idea what the subtle differences are

I edited a spec in fella as I thought that might be the case.

I did put "Milk". I purely meant if I had £830 of money to spend that didn't come out of my pocket, I'd try for a good enthusiast system that I could "finish off" to my liking. The heatsink isn't necessary as we touched on before for example.

I'm on here a fair bit but if you activate your trust account on here you can PM me or use the MSN link under my post count if you have any questions ;)

You want a 64bit OS to use more than 4GB of RAM. If they are all free then get the Professional version as it has the highest memory cap
