Hey all,
I've been asked to build a PC for a mate at work, but struggling to think of parts. Its a while since I've done research, but I'm not sure on where to fall for the price range, etc.
While I would find it easier to build a top of the range PC. One to fit in a budget, I find particular hard to think of.
Hes asking around £400-500 at the most for the components, and case.
He doesn't need a monitor, or a keyboard/mouse.
He wants it to be upgradeable (so with newish parts), but doesn't need that powerful of a graphics card since he has consoles he uses, but may branch out at some point.
He will mostly be using it for internet usage, listening to music, Photoshop, etc.
So not sure wheather to go with an I branded Intel for example, and go that route to keep with the times, or for example to go with an AMD X2-X4.
My suggestion would be to go with a quad to keep it future proofed, as that is the way I think, but I'm not sure with this.
Any suggestions will be welcome
