Hello,

I've been out of the loop for a while and i do not feel informed enough to spec myself a new system. I'm looking to spend between £400-£450 on a system that with primary be used for MS office apps but also casual Photoshop and basic video editing. I may also use it for gaming, but likely WoW Classic which I imagine isn't to strenuous on modern systems.

I do not need any peripherals or OS and I will build this myself.

Thank you for any input!

I'm no expert at this sort of thing but I'll set the ball rolling:


My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £461.06 (includes shipping: £11.10)

Do you need a case and storage?

You might be able to get away with 8GB or ram...

Additionally, I don't know how good Kolink are so perhaps we can get some feedback on that?

Edit: maybe the R5 2600 would be the better CPU in this instance.

Your build has no video output. You need a 3200G or 3400G CPU or an add-on GPU.

I haven't finished it yet though I must admit that the GPU had completely slipped my mind. :D


Probably about the best I can do:

You've done quite well on this. I would say try and add a 1tb hard drive in there if you can since I'm sure photoshop and video editing will take up the ssds space in no time, but apart from that not bad. 2 very viable options imo. Both have their pros for their price value

Try get a preowned older dell machine with a i7 for a cheap cheap price, and then throw in a rx580 or something for that sort of price
