Hi, I am currently searching for parts to build a PC for my family.
It would be used for general tasks such as browsing the internet, office, movies and maybe the odd video/photo editing.
I built myself a gaming rig at the start of this year and found it much easier to choose the parts as there's so many benchmarks to compare to (can it run this game etc). My family is looking for a quiet and fast machine to do the tasks I mentioned above.
This is the build I've came up with at the moment:

One problem I have found with the new Haswell CPU's is the fact that very few low wattage PSU's work with them due to the new power saving feature. £50 seems rather excessive for such a small wattage but I guess it is great for the efficiency.
Is there anything on this build that could be seen as overkill for what it's needed for (or lackluster)? I am also trying to future proof it as much as possible to make life easier.
Thanks!
