I'm hoping to build a home office machine that will run windows 7 and remain as future proof as possible. The budget for the machine is £400-450.
This would include:
Case:
Power Supply:
Motherboard:
CPU:
RAM:
HDD:
Optical Drive:
OS: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SW-127-MS&groupid=33&catid=1555&subcat=
Speccing a gaming rig when you have a nice budget is easy, but trying to get a home office machine that is going to remain useful for a while on a low budget is a little more taxing than I expected. Ideally I want to keep it as silent as possible as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm falling at the first hurdle mind in which processor to go for, and subsequently whether to use DDR2 or DDR3.
