[itswesty]

I have just built this system on scan, I would be grateful for peoples thoughts, as I have not purchased it yet. Any opinions or ideas would be great, it is used as an office machine.

I would like it to stay around this price, perhaps up to £450 but no more, would all the bits work ok together?

Many thanks

Substitute the E6300 for a E4300 as it runs cooler. Also an aftermarket fan will be quieter than the stock Intel one!!

Also the 6200LE is quite a weak graphics card.A standard 6200TC or 6500 is better and cheaper!

Without carriage this comes to around £445 and is a slightly better system than what you have originally specified.However some of the bits are only on offer until the end of today so you may have to hurry!!
