    I'm new to building PCs so don't judge me too harshly, I need something very basic that I can upgrade later. And recommendations of what to change (better parts or something to bring the price down) would be greatly appreciated.

    Watching YouTube videos and using Microsoft office programs. Little bit of programming. I have a 32 inch tv that's not being used so I'd need a HDMI port on the pc. My budget would be around the 300 mark.

    And what upgrades would you be wanting?

    You won't need a GPU, and the RAM, CPU and H81M will be cheaper separately in most cases.

    Amazon or computer universe will likely be cheaper than dabs

    Power supply is overkill, anything over 150w would power that machine! A basic 350w corsair would suffice perfectly and cover any future upgrades.

    Switch the G1840 for a Pentium G3220/G3420/similar.

    Don't need any graphics card, as integrated will do everything that card can.

    Thanks, I wasn't sure about power supplies. I realy ony added he graphics card because I'll need a HDMI out and there doesn't appear to be one on the motherboard.
