    Hey, I'm looking for advice for a cheap enough build please...

    1. What is your budget? Flexible 300eur

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Mostly browsing, lite programs. Maybe some audio (ableton), graphics (gimp) but I intend on getting a mac for this eventually.

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? Don't mind.

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? I have an IDE optical drive but if IDE not practical I could include one in the order.

    5. Do you need a monitor? No

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? 1920/1080, no plan to upgrade

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? Wireless card. Card Reader. USB3. Firewire if possible.

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? Not right now

    I'd like to run it off an SSD, 64gb/128gb.
    Would pay extra for least noisy option.

    Thanks
