Hi,

Spec me another computer please.

Max £450 base unit and printer please

Will be for general usage, not really much gaming. Need SD card reader too.

Thanks

Lauy

looks brill mate, but forgot to mention need windows 7. do you think its a good idea to swap the SSD for W7?

Cheers

You could get a smaller SSD and just be more frugal with what goes on it.

This saves you £45ish (still not enough for W7 though)

if you need an OS, and you cant get it at a discount (eg, if your a student) then your not going to get an SSD in budget. its probably best to wait until you have the money for a decent sized one. also, the prices of SSD's are going down faster than a thai hooker, so you will get more for your money by waiting

i dont know if the printer i have chosen is any good, but it looks just fine to me

also, i wish i could recommend a custom cooler, but i cant find anything that will mount on this new FM1 socket
