This is my last post about this promise, just want to check it all over.

 

This build for my girlfriend:

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/cFjX7P

I'm giving her the PSU, Case and GPU but does everything else look okay to everyone else or could things be changed?

The build will be used for mainly college work and low end games like Sim and Minecraft

 

The next build is for her brother:

This build will need to play high end games like GTA V as well as University work.

Is there anything in this one that could be changed?

For the sisters build do you have a older cou to do a bios update or do you know if it's compatible? I'd put a 256gb SSD in there,mlike a crucial bx100 instead of a 160gb HDD.

For the brothers build, why an older CPU? Why not a newer one with a h97 board ormisnthere a reason?

For the PSU Corsair CX series aren't to great, I'd reccodmend a EVGA GS or G2 series or a SeaSonic one.

They appear solid. Although personally, for your sister's build I would add the full 8GB rather than 4GB. Just my own thoughts, though; it should work well enough besides that.

COU? 

The size of the HDD is due to it only costing £10, the PC has to be as low budget as possible. 

 

I didn't even know that CPU was old, I just picked out an i5 that was the right sort of price.

I'll look into the EVGA PSU, thanks

16GB is probably overkill for a mid-range build, I've changed the CPU though
