Desktop for work

[cferns1]

Hi! So I am planning on building a system for my school work later on in the year. Here is some basic info:

1, I live in the UK

2. I have a working monitor and also fairly decent keyboard and mouse, so that isn't an issue, neither is windows as I just picked up a Windows 10 DVD.

3. I only have 1 monitor at the moment, so multi monitor compatibility would be nice, but not needed at the moment

4. My budget is around £400-£500

5. I need the system to be future proof (I'm possibly going to add a graphics card later on for some light games and for it to last a fair amount of time)

6. I am upgrading because at the moment I have all of my games and suchlike on my laptop, so I need some place to put all of that because I want to take my laptop into school

 

Here is some ideas for the build:

The list with the 4690 in it is a good build, maybe just look at getting a mechanical hdd for storage

Also it would be a very capable system with a graphics card in the future

I've got this:

I replaced the SSD with a 2tb HDD because 2 1tb HDD's were £80 and this drive is £56

Yeah good idea. If you did go with that build first upgrade would be an ssd then graphics card  Good luck
