Gotten tired of using the prebuild at work. Thought i'd may as well put one together so i can use Win7 as it has a lot of features i need - plus XP sucks.
At the moment, I do a lot of MS access work and our database is huge and the old p4 machine i'm using has a lot of trouble handling it. I already have the other components sorted, just missing MB+processor.
I'm thinking an i3 might be a good solution as it has the integrated graphics chip; am i right in thinking the i3/i5 gfx is the best integrated solution around atm? Plus need a board that supports ddr2 if possible, since thats what ive got spare atm.
Budget:
Processor ~ £100
Motherboard ~ £100
