    As part of my FAS Course - ITSS (I.T Support Specialist), I have to build a system.

    We will have about 560-600 each to spend , but can add a few more bob ourselves if we want.
    I put this system together on pixmainia and wanted a few opinions/suggestions.

    It will be used as my main PC for general internet/office stuff...and some light gaming.

    Note that the motherboard,CPU and RAM (4GB) come as a bundle so you cant see them on the order , and i already have a few DVDRW drives and other bit lying around that i can use.


    Cheers folks.

    The power supply seems like a bit of overkill for that system.
    I'm sure someone else will correct me if I'm wrong but I'm fairly sure that a 600watt would be plenty of power

    Or 400W even.

    Also can you give us the type of ram and motherboard models, to see if you can do better than that bundle?


    Edit: FYI there is a budget gaming PC build sticky in this forum that might have something suitable for you. They make builds for under €800
