Hi, My brother is in need of a new pc as the motherboard of his Laptop died on him tonight.He doesnt like normal PC's because they are too bulky, so the build would have to be Micro-Atx, Mini-itx or a laptop. The budget is £450-£500 too. I threw together a quick build which seemed okay:
Hyundai H95W 18.5" Widescreen LCD Monitor £89.69
Antec NSK 2480 Desktop Case - Black/Silver (380W Earth Watts PSU) £86.24
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic SP1 64-Bit - OEM (66G-02141) £73.59
Asus ATI Radeon HD 4670 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express) - Retail (90-C1CLP0-J0UAN00Z) £60.94
Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2H AMD 740G (AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £54.04
Corsair XMS2 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 PC2-6400C5 TwinX Dual Channel (TWIN2X4096-6400C5) £49.44
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+ 2.60GHz (Socket AM2) - OEM AMD Athlon £43.99
Hitachi Deskstar P7K500 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (0A35415) £42.99
Samsung SH-S223F/BEBE 22x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter (Black) - OEM £17.99
Total: £518.89
is there any glaring flaws with this build?
Its over the £500 by a small margin, but if Windows is removed then it falls back under. Probably wont be any point in getting windows anyway as Windows 7 RC is out soon.
Thanks!
