i built a pc about a month ago and my dad wants me to build one for his office, it would be on for long periods of time and running programs such as sage, and avery scales. his current one is quite old, so its time for a new comp. modular powersuply if posible, but a quality one. can anyone give me a list of parts for a build. im in the uk, scotland
 
Hi,

Few questions...

Whats the budget for this build?
Do you need an Operting system?
Is it only the system base he needs?

really, just as affordable as possible, but a quality psu. i intend on getting windows 7 home. so i need a modular psu if posible, a gpu(nothing fancy), a case, a mobo, a processor. i have decided on a samsung 1tb hard drive as i have used one before and i like it, also just a cheap rom drive.
 

that sounds great, but would the antec 300 be a better case, not minding to pay that bit more?
 
I like antec cases, I built my rig in a nine hundred two and it was great to work with.

I guess my point is if you like the antec case and dont mind paying a little more I don't think you'll regret it.

well i built a comp about a month ago and i used the corsair 600t, and i found it pricy, but i love it.

I agree with Daisy that you probably won't need a Graphics card for just the office use and that motherboard i choose has integrated graphics,However if you really want one in there something like this would do...(Not included in price above.)
