I am just about to embark on my first PC building experience, and just wanted to check that the components I have shortlisted are all compatible/value for money/suitable for my needs, and not over the top.
The PC will mainly be used for multitasking internet surfing, office documents, itunes and films. My budget is £600. I have an upgrade disc for Windows 7 that you can apparently use for a clean install. I require everything aside from speakers.
Here is what I have come up with:
Asus M4A785TD-V EVO 785G Socket AM3 onboard DVI VGA HDMI 8 channel audio ATX Motherboard
