Standard build

[HPTL7]

Hi.
Need a standard build for around £300.
Mainly used for hd movies, browsing, work. Onboard gpu should be fine.
Prefer ssd over bigger hdd.
Do not care about look of the case.
Do not have any exisiting parts.
Do not need an os.
Do not need keyboard, mouse or keyboard.
Thanks.

Would this be a better route than a g3258?

This is fine?

I would use the PSU Lemin suggested:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/xfx-...5-year-warranty-ocuk-exclusive-ca-019-xf.html

It's a seasonic design even if it isn't directly produced by them. I have no idea who the OEM for Kolink is. It has a longer warranty too.

The AMD APU might have a little more graphics grunt than the G3258 and is a quad-core. Otherwise they're pretty even.

The first build posted looks better imo.

Yours is upgradable with a i5-4690K, when cheap.

Id change these...

Just wanted to ask regarding the raijintek aidos cooler, is thermal paste included?
Also, i have a set of powerline adapters, if i want another adapter, do i have to buy the exact same one's as the first two?
Thanks.

Thermal paste is included, but it comes in a little silver sachet. At least, the paste with my Themis did. I always have a tube of the stuff lying around, so it didn't bother me.
