Hi,

I'm new to the forum's and was looking for some advice / input on a new budget build system that will be mainly used for web surfing (for the missus). I have tinkered around changing parts before but never built a system from scratch and thought a budget build would be a good place to start.

Was wondering what people thought of the below Intel & AMD options. Would be gratefull for any advice or if you can see any newbie errors then please let me know.

Read the OP? ;)

Would go for the Pentium build over the AMD build.

EDIT: The PSU included in the case wouldn't really be that good. Here's a AMD APU based build, the minimum I'd personally go for (160GB HDD is a little tight)

YOUR BASKET
1 x Toshiba (7K1000.D) 500GB SATA 6GB/s 32MB Cache - OEM (DT01ACA050) £49.99
1 x Gigabyte A55M-S2HP A55 Chipset (Socket FM1) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard ** FREE NEXUIZ GAME ** £49.99
1 x AMD A4-3400 2.70GHz (Socket FM1) APU Processor (AD3400OJGXBOX) £46.99
1 x Xigmatek Pantheon Mid Tower Case - Black £35.99
1 x Antec VP350P 350W '80 Plus' Continuous Power Supply £32.99
1 x TeamGroup Elite 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TED38192M1600HC11DC) £27.95
1 x OcUK 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £17.99
