Help With Build Refinement

[Nup]

A friend wanted an upgrade for a home computer (nothing very intense). The aim is to provide speed in everyday tasks and decent longevity.  

Are there any improvements you guys would recommend? 

Here's a list of the parts; (Great Improvement Moderate Price). 

 

 

 

Bare in mind that we have slightly limited choice of components due to our location.  

 

Thanks in advance

Are you going to overlock? If so get the 4670k/3570k

Is that your budget? And where are you located?

"Speed in everyday tasks" Don't think he's overclocking. 

[Oshino Shinobu]

Only thing I would say is to get a 120GB SSD. 64GB really isn't enough unless you're very careful with what you install.

Yeah, no overclocking  

Sorry should have mentioned the budget is max 500. 

In Ireland, the main retailer is Dabs.ie

In that case, you can fit one of these with that budget. http://www.dabs.ie/products/sandisk-128gb-ssd-sata-6gb-s-2-5--solid-state-drive-870X.html?q=ssd&src=16

 

Overall, it looks quite good for just a home PC. There's a lot of room for upgrades if he decides he wants to do something else with the build

 

EDIT: You may also be able to squeeze a CPU cooler in that budget. Maybe even a Hyper 212 EVO. It'll keep the CPU nice and cool http://www.dabs.ie/products/coolermaster-hyper-212-evo---4-heatpipe--tower-cpu-cooler-8K32.html?q=cpu%20cooler&src=16

 

EDIT2: Or an arctic cooler for slightly cheaper http://www.dabs.ie/products/arctic-cooling-freezer-13-cpu-cooler-7H0R.html?q=cpu%20cooler&src=16

Awesome, thanks a million!

Maybe take a look at amd alternatives for mobo and cpu you might get a good deal and increased graphic preformance which helps more in everyday tasks.

At first i was thinking of going with an A10 6800k for 40 euro less. but the i5 seems to preform a good bit better. I also though of a fx8 8320. 

I don't know much about how the two company's compare, especially with more mundane tasks.

Both are overkill.

You mentioned upgrading? What are the specs of the current system?

[Nup]

Right so. I don't know. I believe its about six years old or there about.
