New build for under £300 must be micro atx, does not matter what side intel or amd, will not be used for any gaming.

Just needs the tower only plus SSHD, as she does not want two hard drives.

Thanks.

Thats better and if i dropped the ram down to, 2x4gb i could go for a A8 cpu i think but not sure what one.

Also would have to change that case as its so dam ugly lmao.

the cases are personal preference, i just chose it as a sff type..

while you said no gaming, being an APU they crave ram hence the 16gb, but if you want the better cpu then by all means lower the ram, your build after all

as for which one? the best one for your money.

What about one of these:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/giga...i3-broadwell-ddr3-barebones-pc-fs-005-gi.html

Didn't see it doesn't include a hard drive, but those can be picked up cheap or a nice portable USB3 can be used.

If not, take a look at AMD's Kabini:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x AMD Athlon 5350 2.05GHz Quad Core Processor - Retail (Socket AM1)= £35.99
1 x MSI AM1I AMD AM1 (Socket FS1b) Mini ITX Motherboard= £24.95
1 x Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (BLS2CP8G3D1609DS1S00= £59.99
1 x Aerocool CS101 Micro ATX Case - Black= £22.99
1 x be quiet! SFX Power 2 300W '80 Plus Bronze' SFX Power Supply= £43.99
1 x Seagate 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache HDD - OEM (ST2000DM001)= £54.95

Total: £254.56
(includes shipping: £11.70)

There's a few Kabini gems that OcUK don't stock, such as the ASRock AM1H-ITX which can be powered by a laptop charger instead of a power supply. I have an AMD 5350 in my HTPC and its perfect for web browsing, netflix and office stuff (Even does light gaming and runs league of legends on medium settings at 60fps).
