Hi all,
I'm building a system for home/office use. Budget is ~£400 excluding screen and optical drive but including OS. No gaming etc., so onboard GPU is fine, can be upgraded later if needed. Idea is to have a system that will be solid and will age well. Come up with this but have been out of the game for a while so am pretty out of date. Any comments/improvements appreciated
