Hi,
I'm new to forum but not so new to a overclockers site.
My old laptop is not power enough for my uni stuff so I would like to build myself a mini itx pc with budget 500-600£ more towards 500£ :)

My problem is that I'm out of the touch with latest developments in IT world and that's why I would to ask you folks for a help in putting together Mini itx pc.

What I would like to get out of it.
Ordinary word processing programs, it has to be good in multitasking and finally occasional Battlefield 3 gaming :)

For gaming I'm planning to use my TV and for school stuff I do have an old monitor but I might buy better screen in future so I'm not going to save on graphic card. I do not have operating system so unfortunately that needs to incorporated in final price. I do have mouse and keyboard.

Hopefully I gave you enough information for you

Thank you very much for your help and I'm looking forward to your suggestions :)
 
Many thanks guys for a quick response :)
Yep case is missing. I'm working and studying at the same time so I'm not sure if I'm eligible for any discounted software.
 
2 options and now I have hard time to decide :)
I would like to get 4 core CPU if that's possible to squeeze in :)

How easy is it going to be with upgrades for future ?
Which o these 2 systems is better ?

Thank you and sorry for so many noobish questions
 
I'm not going to be overclocking-do not how and never felt a need to overclock CPU.
So what is final set up everyone would go for ?
Do you think I can get all parts before the weekend if ordered today ?

Considering ITX only has one expansion slot it might be wise to use that for a GPU. Some higher end ITX boards have Wi-Fi built in, the cheaper ones do not and you can use a USB dongle. You can use the onboard sound card.

Anyway, that's a wired NIC. :p
Click to expand...

Wired nick ?? Are you trying to mock me here ??? LOL. :p

SVK - is a short cut of my name and at the same time it's a short cut of my country so it's easy to remember.

Uff you have saved me here. Them dongles like to get hot,wouldn't be better to go for MB with built in WI-FI ????
 
I'm disappointed :(
Canceled my order because guys at overclockers can't dispatch my parcel in 1 day and deliver it to me in 2 days.

Was assured yesterday that my parcel will be on the way same day just to be told today that I'm going to receive my new Pc on Monday and they had not dispatched it yesterday.

I know I have spent only £770 but anyway for that money I have expected they would at least try to use next day delivery or something like that.
Guy over the phone was nice and relaxed and refund was smooth.

So disappointed but have to go spend money somewhere else.
