Hi guys
I am looking to order this pc spec and would appreciate any comments on how well these components go together.
Use is mainly office based and music/films/photos, internet browsing, etc. Am not into gaming but would like a decent system that lasts for a good few years.
The more I look at building my own system, the more confusing it gets! Help Please.
Do I need a good graphics card for films (if not into gaming)?
Is the PSU 450W enough with this spec?
What partition should I ask for with 1TB HDD?
Thanks in advance.
