This one is for my brother who wants a new computer. And I'm going to build it for him as i had so much fun building the last one.
He doesn't play games other than some of the online flash stuff so a discrete GPU is not essential.
He does download lots of films and has a seriously large music collection on there so a decent sound card and a large amount of storage seems to be a good idea. The other usual stuff applies, surfing, emails, word processing and spreadsheets. And he has a couple of large apps that are to do with room layout design and are probably CPU intensive.
His top budget is £300 for the base unit only as he has all the peripherals and OS.
Any advice on this would be gratefully received.

It might be worth having one moderate-sized SSD (e.g. 320 - 500GB) for OS + programs, and a big (1 - 2TB) hard drive for his music and video collection - that way if he wants to nuke his OS or has problems he won't have to worry about his media.


You know what I meant
