Hello there people,
I was wondering if you could spec me a build for 500£ but it must include the OS.

I was going to wait till christmas because I will have about 900£ but I need it soon and only have 500£. I will get the extra 400£ to upgrade it around christmas.

I hope its possible to have an i5 2500k processor and an asrock extreme4 gen 3 mobo and 8gb of ram.

Sorry if I havent explained it very well, didn't know how to ask this.

Thanks in advance.:D

If anyone can do that, they should get an award.

OS: lets set aside £100 for that alone.
that means you have £400 to set up a PC. You will have better luck going on ebay and even then you wouldn't get a fully built PC for £500 that has a 2500K a decent mobo and 8GB of RAM.

Do you have any re-usable parts? Because to be honest, assuming you at minimum you get what you asked for in your original post - an Intel i5 2500k, Asrock Ex4 Gen3 mobo, 8GB RAM and Win7 OS - that is already £458 - leaving you with £42 for at minimum a case, power supply, hard drive and graphics card.

C'mon buddy, did you think this through? :p If you get the other £400 then you are laughing. :)

this is probably your best bet, if you need this PC asap but dont game, you can make use of the onboard graphics the Z68 has.

EDIT: just did a quick spec of what youve asked for, and it comes to £585, and thats skimping on the PSU/Case (CX430W/Bitfenix Alpha)

Sorry I haven't replied in a couple of hours.
I could probably handle without a graphics card but I would like to do some light gaming if thats even possible on the onboard graphics, I think my best bet is to just wait.
