Hey guys,

I'm a bit out of the loop with the new i5 kit etc. I am needing to put together a PC for a family member that meets the below criteria:

i5 Sandy, 4GB ram, SSD for the OS, 1+TB HDD for data, bluray, GPU that can power two 1080p monitors, but not for gaming.

Any advise or suggestions are most welcome, thanks :)
 
Well a £900 budget is loads, and so heres £200 saved:)

Aww man I go off for like one hour and missed like the only spec of the evening :( lol

All of these systems are very similar.

Looks like you just need to decide on make/size of storage drives, graphics card depending on use, and then how good-lookin' a case you want and then all the rest is pretty much the same.
