Hi,
I have a budget of 270 pounds to build a computer which can do the following things:
* Run basic MS office
* Do basic flash development (If this V120 proccessor in my laptop can do it, I think anything will do)
* Get on Minecraft with a FPS above 30 most of the time
* And a bit of basic adobe premiere video editing
* Oh, forgot, photoshop
Heres the form that it says to post:
Approximate Purchase Date: Well, my bday is nov 8, so I guess I'll buy my parts a few days after that when I put my birthday money in the bank

Budget Range: (e.g.: 300-400) : 270 quid.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Adobe Creative Suite, Minecraft, Office 2010, well, guess nothing really that I do is worth posting

Are you buying a monitor: Yeah, but not to be included in budget.

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: CCLComputers, SCAN, Amazon UK

Location: Birmingham, UK

Parts Preferences: Intel Ivy Bridge

Overclocking: No

SLI or Crossfire: no preference

Your Monitor Resolution: There is no reason for me to answer this.

Additional Comments: It HAS to be ivy bridge. Dont ask why...
Looks nice and tidy, plain case, no windows or flashy lights. ATX, I hate working in Micro ATX.


What would you suggest as my parts, it would be helpful to include a link to a place to buy it low priced, but I'm not fussed too much.

With respect, this is about as cheap as you can build, using IvyBridge, and any sort of real gaming performance. How good performance would be, depends on your monitor resolution, which is why the template asks for that.

Hi.
This post is outdated. See http://pcpartpicker.com/uk/p/kMXL
That seems nice

How is it outdated. I agree that A10 is a new way to get some modest gaming, at a lower cost, but i3, and a separate graphics card still beats it, hands down for gaming. ADD to that OP specifically said he wanted INTEL, and didn't want anything mATX ........
