Hi
I need to replace my PC and would like to build my own. I have built many PCs in the past but not for about 10 years but things don’t seem to have changes that much, well with physically putting together hardware anyway.
The main use for this PC is office tasks, large spreadsheets and long indesign projects, with a little bit of photoshop but nothing to complex there. I would also like to be able to play a few games on it, my current setup can’t run anything so although this would be good it is not it’s main task. It has to be quiet too!
The idea of saving money not buying a separate graphics card is attractive hence the CPU, plus the free sim city appeals! The cooler seems to be easy to fit unlike some so that is why I choose that one. I know the case is a bit expensive but I like the looks and it seems to be nice and quiet. Anyway, have a look and see what you think, I am open to any suggestions and if I have got it totally wrong I would be very grateful if you could point me in the right direction. My budget is ideally around £600 but can go to £700 if there is a good reason.
