Hi All

Im looking to buy and build a new PC next week, the details are as follows

So far I have

Monitor - Samsung 22" LCD

Keyboard & Mouse - Logitec S520

Speakers - Creative T20

OS - Windows 7
So now I just need the actual system and case

The budget is £400

Its used SOLEY for internet browsing/downloading large files/watching movies in 1080p/Word prosessing


Can someone help by showing me componants within that budget to suit the objective of the machine. I have the ability to put it all together just not get the correct components without help and advice.

As Im new to the forum I know its a little cheeky to just ask for help without any posts, so as a bit of a 'reward' I will paypal £5 to whoevers machine I buy (I will screenshot my order to show)

I would prefer to buy all from Overclockers

Thanks

Hey, welcome to the forums. Just a word of advice, links to competitors aren't allowed so I'd get rid of them in your post before someone gets mad :p
 
Was thinking of something like this, delivery takes it £15 over budget and I was basing it off a OCuK bundle

Not going to run games, but should do 1080p film with easy, what do other ocukers think?

Hi
I wouldnt mind going a few pounds over budget.

Like I said before Im a novice to this, but was wondering what are the benefits to having a dedicated graphics card like you posted against an on board one?
 
Doh disk drive, changed it a by using cheaper memory, here we go:

He has chose a retail chip and mine is OEM so needs a cooler, you might get a little overclock out of my setup if you want in the future as well.

Make your choice of case as well, coolermaster one is a good one in your budget as well.

For 1080p I would stay away from on board graphic, it can be quiet demanding at times.

I'll leave this till Tomorrow evening then buy one of the setups given (unless there are any other suggestions) If not one of you two will be sent a little reward for your helpfulness :)
