Hi there,
So my cousin has asked me to put together a spec of computer for him but I have since become very out of touch with current hardware trends. He says he has about £800 to spend, but would like to keep it nearer £600 if at all possible. He put together a spec including a AMD Phenom 9500 (so I'm assuming he wants a quad core), Though he's not much of a gamer, it would be nice to get one in seeing as the budget will allow for it.
So, please spec away! I should mention the computer would most probably be used for everyday use, but things such as video encoding, maybe some new games (as his current setup is very outdated). So I would say, large HDD, DVD Writer, good RAM and a decent DX10 gfx card, a quad core.
Thanks for anyone who as any advice/suggestions
