Best Spec PC build for £300

[supersaverzuk]

Can you please list the best spec PC you can build for £300 including monitor and keyboard & mouse (using all new parts).

PC will be used mainly for internet, word processing with microsoft word and online games from facebook.

Smaller the PC case the better - Micro ATX?

something like this (https://www.aria.co.uk/myAria/Wish%20Lists/%26Acirc;%26pound;300?operation=wishListMakePublic&listId=1) is what i'd go for :)!

around £310.

all depends on what u want the computer to do, but it will smash general usage like u stated :thumb:

could change cpu to this (https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/CPUs+/+Processors/AMD+Other/AMD+Sempron+145+2.80GHz+(Socket+AM3)+Processor+-+Retail+?productId=41571) and mobo to this (https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Motherboards/AMD+AM3+(nForce+Chipset)/MSI+GF615M-P33+AMD%C2%AE+GeForce+6150se/+nForce+430+(Socket+AM3)+DDR3+PCI-Express+Micro-ATX+Motherboard+?productId=41134). then u would have enough to get a good Full HD 22" monitor instead, like this (https://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/Other+products/22%22+BenQ+G2222HDL+Widescreen+LED+Monitor+?produc tId=39722)

tbh, i think system> monitor :thumb:
for general usage, u dont need 22" or Full HD, but its ur choice whether u want a longer lasting system, or bigger and better monitor :)!

do u need windows as well?
it will be very tricky to also fit a copy of windows into the budget :(!

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator includes built-in support for smooth high-definition video playback without the need for add-in video cards or decoders. Intel GMA X4500 comes with Intel Clear Video Technology, a combination of video processing hardware and software technologies designed to enhance the visual experience.

How cheaper would it be to build PC myself compared to buying one same spec from shop?

Look at the spec from the shop...then add the same items to a wish list and it would tell you..

[lucas4]

that aria built PC is very cheap, but takes the fun out of building :lol:!

it isnt as upgradeable either, but this may not be a worry for u :)!

it will do everything u want tho :thumb:

it depends on budget, sometimes with a small budget, it is cheaper to buy coz they can get stock at better prices by buying in bulk! the price for each item just cant compare :(!
