Advice on first time build

[tris_5]

Want to get into the computing scene so will be purchasing all the parts and building my first pc. I am on a very tight budget of about £320 for all the actually components as I will still need to keyboard, mouse, desk and operating system of course. What are your thoughts on this build and is there anything u feel I could improve bear in mind my low budget.

Is there a reason that you do not have a graphics card listed? Other than that, if this is a build for basic computing needs, it is fine for that.

Will rely on the integrated graphics of the CPU until later in the year when I will get a dedicated gpu. I was told the integrated graphics and the fast ram will play some less demanding games especially as I don't mind playing on medium / low settings and have will be getting a 720p monitor

- Use a single 8GB RAM is easier to upgrade in the future

- A £40 case is expensive considering your budget, pick the cheapest or those below £30 will do the job fine

- If you want to cut more cost then scrap the wireless adapter and use ethernet cable
