Hey All,
A friend of mine recently had his 2011 iMac break and Apple want to charge him at least £800 to fix it, which is extortionate!
I have convinced him to go PC instead for around about the same price (£800 - £900), to get better performance.
He does a fair bit of graphic design work and mostly uses Adobe suite. He also would like to do a bit of gaming (with the PC replacing his Xbox One).
He isn't too bothered about the looks of the PC, so the case isn't too big an issue. Although if you feel the Nova would be a pain to build in please suggest something else!
I haven't built in a while so I'm a bit out the loop so would like to run it past you guys before he goes ahead and buys parts.
What do you think of the below build?:
