Hey all looking to build pc for my Uncle, he has keyboard and mouse and windows 7 already, was looking to let him have my old GTX280 to go with it.

Budget £400-£450

Could you please take a look and see if you can make it better.



Cheers in advance ;)
 
Cheers Craigus, thats a cool move future proof it a bit more.

What do you think of the processor, fast enough for everyday surfing and occasional browser based games?
 
Cheers Chaps, might grab the Ivy instead then.

Would the Ivy Bridge and Patriot Ram work with the motherboard I listed? And how hot do Ivy's get with stock cooler?
Not really going to be overclocking this processor unless it comes with a boost to 3.8 or something.

Ideally he would like to stay in the £450 mark.

Right I've taken the monitor out and swapped a few things around.
