Hi,
My families current PC is crawling on the carpet right now due to years of neglect but we are now looking for a much better quicker PC that can do all the family stuff, and maybe run a game once in a blue moon.
The pricing is quite vague due to it being up against my mums idea of a £1200 Macbook pro or around there, as you can tell i'm against this for many reasons. the budget for the tower would be around the 4-500 mark and then a recommended screen would be useful on top of that budget. (maybe a widescreen). (any other peripherals can be added on such as mice etc but they can be left)
AMD would be my preferred choice as they are cheaper and to be honest i prefer there style but if it was better to go Intel i would not mind.
One of my biggest factors is for it to be not to beable to hold huge amounts of data( TB storage would be easily enough) but for there to be at least 1 complete backup of everything on the PC. So for that reason a 120gb ssd i think would be good and then a backup ssd? with a hardrive doing the rest of the legwork??
for the case i do like the look of a bitfenix neos case, but would shy away from one that is dull and black (i liked the blue and white one) no window is required really due to it living in a desk cupboard area.
so really looking for cpu, mobo, gpu, fans etc (extra fans would be gratefully reccomended along with one to replace the stock one on the cpu)
GPU i have seen on other family builds a 270 (x) and similar but do not know if this is overkill.
Thanks so much and i can reply to any questions you have that can help you build the PC.
(i will also need to buy a code for windows 10.1 aswell but can get the usb off my current laptop so around 30 quid arnt they?)
