I am making a computer for my gf as the 7 year old prebuilt one i gave her gave up the ghost. It needs to be fairly budget minded but not too strictly budget hehe, it needs to be small form factor ish and a discrete graphics card is not essential, upgradibility in the future would be nice as well. She says she is happy to use the gfx on the cpu rather than have a discrete grpahics card or just buy one in a few months if she miraculously gets into games. Also all the prices are in norwegian kroner because that is where I live now, it is just more of a question of whether this stuff will work well together or not, rather than saying 5 quid here or there and also if I have made any obvious mistakes (missing important parts out lol) and whether I have fulfilled my mission statement lol. So this is what I came up with.:
HDD:
Samsung spin point f3 500GB
385 NOK (39 quid)
CPU:
intel core i3-530
995 NOK (100 quid)
MOBO:
Asusu P7H55-M
779 NOK (78 quid)
RAM:
Crucial DDR3 1333mhz CL9 2x1GB
450 NOK (45 quid)
Case:
silverstone SG01
799 NOK (80 quid)
Disk Burner:
Generic Sony one
245 NOK (25 quid)
PSU:
Already have one! It is 400w Silverpower one with about 28amps over 2 12v rails.
Operating system:
Already purchased. (windows 7)
Total: 3653 NOK ... about 370 quid in normal money.
So will this work? Or will it blow up lol?
Thanks in advance.
BTW in norway due to the parts i can get the difference between building a rig with an i3-530 and building a rig with a phenom ii x2 550 or an athlon ii x4 is negligible (about 10 pounds), hence why I went intel for the lower power consumption and the easy overclockability of i3's for if she needs more oomph in the future.
