I'm trying to put together a build for a friend who needs a computer for their university course they're starting. They are happy to go for a desktop, so I've shown them the wonderful world of building a computer. They seem to be onboard, so I've put together a tentative parts list as follows : Parts list here.
Budget is around £1k.
Now, I'm not sure if this is overkill. I'd expect that a computer used for those programs would require something relatively beefy, so I've gone with as much. I don't think anything more than a 1060 would be needed, but if anyone knows othetwise, I'd be happy to change.
One other thing is that I've gone for simplicity. At least i think. This person hasn't built a pc before, and i unfortunately won't be able to help them in person. So i didn't want to choose a CPU without a cooler.
Only other thing worth mentioning is realistically this computer won't be used for anything but the above mentioned programs, and light web browsing. Would be surprised if it ever got used for gaming.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
