Hiya guys.
My pc of 5+ years is now becoming unstable and unreliable, and im looking at buying a mini pc to replace ( was going to buy a laptop but cannot justify the greater expense) .
Now aside from casual net browsing, i essentially will be only using this for Football Manager 2013 and onwards. The specs will be fairly similar to those of 12. Hopefully for those with knowledge of the game and how it works (i would like to run the game with largest possible databases, processing times to be minimal etc etc) . Please give guidance on below specs i have put together:
Case
Silverstone SST-GD04S Silver Brushed Aluminium Case + 450W PSU
Processor (CPU)
AMD A8-3870K APU (3.0GHz, 4 Cores) & AMD Radeon™ HD 6550D Graphics
Motherboard
ASUS® F1A75-M: FM1 A-SERIES, SATA 6.0GB/s, USB 3.0
Memory (RAM)
8GB SAMSUNG DUAL-DDR3 1333MHz (2 X 4GB)
Graphics Card
1GB AMD RADEON™ HD6450 - DVI,HDMI,VGA - DX® 11
Memory - 1st Hard Disk
120GB KINGSTON HYPERX 3K SSD, SATA 6 Gb/s (upto 555MB/sR | 510MB/sW)
1st DVD/BLU-RAY Drive
24x DUAL LAYER DVD WRITER ±R/±RW/RAM
Sound Card
ONBOARD 10 CHANNEL (7.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)
Network Facilities
10/100/1000 GIGABIT LAN PORT - AS STANDARD ON ALL PCs
USB Options
2 x USB 3.0 PORTS + 4 x USB 2.0 PORTS AS STANDARD
£504 inc VAT and Delivery.
If there is anything which raises a concern, or you think could be swapped to improve performance etc. I am basically at my budget id say.
Many thanks in advance
