My neighbour wants me to build him a computer, he has already chosen the case a Corsair air 240.
As have not put one together for about 3 years I need some advice on what is best now.
He does some gaming but nothing intense.
He has a budget of £400.
So I am looking for a micro ATX motherboard, CPU, cooler, graphics card and PSU.
Looking at the Overclockers web page there is a confusing array, so any advice would be welcome.
 
Does he have RAM already? If so, DDR3 or DDR4?

And storage?

If one or both of those need adding, does budget remain same or go up?
 
As DDR4 is cheap now I will go with that.
He has a 240GB SSD and a 1TB SATA drive that will be re-used.
I forgot about the memory, told you I have been out of the loop for a while.
£400 is the maximum he can afford.
 
My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £408.01
(includes shipping: £11.10)
​
 
Well I ordered the parts for the neighbours build and thought mine could do with an upgrade, so I not only spent £400 on his components but also spent £450 on some components for myself.
And all the parts are being delivered tomorrow, hope there are some Haribo in the packaging somewhere.:)
