As above, I'm looking to get a desktop for under £450. One that, over time, I can upgrade, I'm thinking a decent GFX card, more RAM, an SSD, a better PSU if needed. Don't want to touch the motherboard or processor though so I'd like to get a decent one of those if possible.
I understand that building is better than pre-built, however that is not an option for me for a variety of reasons.
I've tried PC Specialist after seeing them recommended in a few places. Here's what I've managed to put together: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/computers/intel-home-office-pc-II/
Here's a list for those who don't want to click the link (and in case it doesn't have my choices on it):
Case: PCS 6003B Black Case
Intel Core i3 Quad Core Processor i3-8100 @ 3.6 GHz 6MB Cache
ASUS H310M-A: Micro-ATX, DDR4, LGA1151, USB 3.1, SATA 6GBs
4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400MHz
1TB Seagate Barracuda SATA-III 3.5" HDD, 6GB/s, 7200rpm, 32MB Cache
Corsair 350W VS-350 Power Supply
Comes out at £433
How does it look? Do you think the Motherboard is good enough or should I go for a B model? Should I get an SSD now rather than in the future? And if so, any recommendations? I am quite fond of the idea of going for an 8th Gen processor and DDR4 RAM, unless someone can convince me that it's completely unnecessary? Any advice at all would be great
Just to reiterate: I know that this is very basic at the moment (only 4GB RAM, no GFX card) however I plan to add those things at a later date when I can afford them.
