Looking for a rig (aren't we all lol)

Evening all

Looking for a rig to handle:
Minecraft
Rendering/Photoshop (not extensive)
Media

Will need to be a full system (case, psu, cpu, gpu etc)
Would like to have 8gb RAM, i5 (minimum) CPU, minimum 1gb GPU, DVD RW & Wifi, housed in a mini tower.

No budget defined but would like to keep it as low as is reasonably possible.
All coming from OCUK so links to there only pls (free games would be great )
(Don't need mouse, keyboard & monitor)

Thanks in advance!

A budget is a big need to build you a rig.

Please could you be more specific with your budget it's very difficult to give you a build without money in mind

Your needs are fairly minor (in the grand scheme of things) so you don't need big bells and whistles at all.

GPU wise, you'll be looking at an i5 to help with rendering/Photoshop. The OCUK i5 DIY bundle may be a good start. Giving you a 4440 and 8gb of RAM. As your video work isn't heavy 8GB will suffice.

As for the GPU, you can either go mid range or go without one. Minecraft will run fine on the on board graphics.

For a build Like that your looking around £450-600, does that sound okay?
