    1. What is your budget? I’m unsure but about €600-€700 ish

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? It will be a general all purpose PC, mainly web browsing, apart from Minecraft i’m not in to gaming.

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? Yes windows 7 64 bit, I’m not interested in Windows 8.

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? no parts available, I’m currently using a 2008 20” imac

    5. Do you need a monitor? Yes a 22” (ish) will be good. preferably a TV for built in speakers

    5a. If yes, what size do you need. yes a 22”

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? [Keyboard/Mouse/Wireless Card/Card Reader/Speakers/etc.] I’d like to get everything i need for a new start.

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? [Yes/No] No idea ?

    8. How can you pay? Debit card/Debit Card or Paypal.

    9. When are you purchasing? would like to order parts within a month

    If you need help building it, where are you based? I’m in Co.Galway but i’ll have help so i’ll be ok thanks.

    I realize my budget is low but i’m not looking for the best or fastest machine, but i do want it to be reasonable, quick enough etc.

    My main thing is the case, i really like the Bitfenix Prodigy M in black so i’ll be wanting to stick with that, costing roughly €85.

    also i want it to look good inside, I want to get a quiet modular power supply, using the Bitfenix Alchemy cables and a Micro-ATX Motherboard,

    Other details.
    I have some TP-Link home plugs that i can use or get a wi-fi card.

    I won’t need a optical DVD drive

    Graphic are not to important for what i need, general web browsing etc so integrated should be fine but willing to spend a little here if it’s an improvement over on board graphics for the cost.

    I’d like a quick start up, hate waiting. so maybe a SSD for boot drive and a seperate HDD for general storage ?

    And i would like it to be a Intel build rather than AMD, possibly an i3.

    Any advice greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
