Hello all, I'm looking to build a new PC and as i havent built one for 10 years i need some advice, my budget is £500 but as I won't be putting it together until the new year I'm hoping to pick up parts when they are on sale.
Is this build OK for mostly Web surfing, office based programs, light photo editing and light gaming (16bit games and indie)? Is there anything I could change to bring down the cost or a better part that is not listed on Pc Part Picker? And is there anything else I need to add?
WiFi is a must due to a house rabbit.
I'm thinking the DDR5 for future proofing, and will want to add lights eventually.
Hopefully something like this will last for the next 10 years with upgrades.
