Hi folks.

I've been asked to spec up a machine for our school chaplain (priest) and Board of Governor representative and have come up with the following. He's not really looking something fancy but something that will do him for a while. Most of the work will be emails, parish bulletins and a bit of word processing.

Do the specs look okay?

Many thanks

Declan

Yeah should be more than good enough but i highly recommend the caviar black hard drives as they are faster at bootup and load applications etc. Maybe invest in the £19 cpu cooler so extra cooling but other than that its ace :)

Seems somewhat expensive to me for someone who presumably has no intention of ever playing any games? For instance do they actually need a dedicated GPU ?

I've just ordered pretty much the revised spec above (without monitor/printer), loooking mainly for decent speed and reliability at a reasonable price.
