Hi

My dad has asked me to build him a desktop. He doesnt need anything special. Its just going to be for web browsing, internet, office type of work. He wont be gaming or anything like that, so a cheap build is fine. Can anyone see anything i should change. Max budget is around £250. Have monitor already

Thanks

if barebones comes with a suitable PSU then i think it should be ok. Also if you link your forum account to your main account you should be able to get free shipping

For his usage surely the cheaper X2 5200 would be enough. it's only £53 too.

I found that dvdrw drive to be quite noisy. The LG at the same price is much quieter.

Cheers. I guess your right, I'll swap them around.
