Hi Guys!

 

I am 15 and planning my first PC build, and would just like to know your opinions on the parts that I have chosen and any comments/criticisms etc. you may have. I have designed two builds that I am looking at and would like your feedback on which is better. The build will be used mainly for schoolwork and very minimal gaming (hence the lack of a graphics card) so I am not bothered about the gaming side at all.

 

Thanks!
