Hey guys, I am building a PC for my uncle, this will be the first time I have built a computer so im just checking with you that my components will all be compatible with each other and it will achieve the desired goal.
He says the maximum he wants to spent is £500 for the system + HD monitor (no software).
The build so far is nicely under the budget which isnt a problem but if you think its worth upgrading any components please tell me.

So that is build so far just need to look for a monitor now.
Will everything be compatible ?
Will the I3 2100 intergrated grapthics be able to handle 720p youtube videos? (thats the most demanding thing my uncle will be doing grapthicswise)
And the computer will be basicly be used for browsing and using micrsoft office programs. The most demanding thing he will do will probably be youtube.
