Sketchup, Photoshop, Excel and Ableton? using the onboard graphics?

monitor is 1920x1200

could it be any cheaper?

I have win 10/kb/mouse/monitor

My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £406.56
(includes shipping: £11.70)

eaither want something cheap as poss, or something half decent using onboard graphics at first, then get a nice card at some point
 
ahh I thought the on-board was part of the motherboard!...not upgraded for while

I don't really have any need to upgrade but need the PC for work....started to get random errors and the newest component in current pc is 6+ year old (except PSU needed replaced few months ago but it's an under £20 job). E8400 abit ip35 pro gtx 470. So better just starting from scratch

Would getting a board/cpu with onboard graphics and forgetting about the graphics card for now be viable?
 
Ahh ok...I’ve looked in to upgrading every so often over the years and it’s always been i5-6600k that looked best....still popular on the o uk shop....is it because it’s good for overclocking? i38100 looks better stock but much less£? I’d just want to stay stock speeds...standard cooler etc

For Sketchup, Photoshop and Excel, sure. No idea about Ableton.

Going this route, you'd stick a wanted thread in the Member's Market, for Skylake or Kabylake i5/i7, and nab the best you can for £80 or so. Keep tabs on what's already being offered, too.

Being opened B-Grade, hopefully OcUK won't mind flashing the BIOS to make it Kaby compatible. A service they provide for new boards but you have to return it to them when they are new.

Thanks Danny... I’d want to stick to new tho...bit daft but the 2nd hand stuff would always get the blame for anything that didn’t work!


I’ll have to do some googling and familiarise myself with new cpus and boards....having something that could take a nice god card in the future looking more likely rather than cheap as poss
 
thanks Bongo....that would do the trick, as I say it's either cheap as poss or a system that easily does 1080p/60fps+. Budget not set at all but no point having something in between...if it does games I'd want it to do it well!

pretty sure every one of my 'what to buy' posts over the years have gone this way..end up looking at things twice the price...then just don't bother..only this time I need to buy something as the PC's on it's last legs

I just chose the ryzen as it was cheap/popular on the ocuk website..always had intel/nvidia...need to look in to coffe lake/ryzen etc tonight. Good to have a starting point tho :)
