Build Advice Building rig for my Dad

Hey guys, I am making a new rig for my Dad, he mainly wants it for the usual normal person use, however he wants it to be nice and quick and relatively future proof

Baring that in mind, what do ppl think about the following spec?

Scan Spec

Any input appreciated, many thanks in advance

p.s. could also do with a cheap way of getting HDMI in there

*Edit*
Budget is about £400 all in

 

Extra £7 - this board has HDMI

 

All that power and no SSD makes me cry. but would not fit the budget sadly.

 

Swap the CPU and motherboard for a 5600k and spend the spare £70 on an SSD or monitor upgrade. Those will bring far more noticeable gains while the CU would only be obvious in benchmarks.

 

ok, thank you everyone for your input i will chuck in an SSD, will make everyone happy

And thanks Parge, great shout on the board

*Edit*
Never mind about the non-1TB-HDD idea, he didn't like that

 

Here's an idea (was also mentions above) using AMD.It comes in at £421. If that £21 is to much then just down grade to a A10 5800k.

This would offer better graphics performance, no real notible decrease in system speed and a 128GB SSD (that will give a noticeable increase in sytem speed)

 

Yeh, my Dad was set on Intel (don't know why as he wants a budget rig.... *sigh*) I shall put together a spec like the one above for him for AMD and try and persuade him otherwise Thanks everyone

 

Another way to save a bit on that would be get a smaller power supply

Without a discrete graphics card I doubt you'd need a 500w supply

 

That is a good shout, I will make the swap. Thanks

 

Why's your dad asking for your help when he's overruling you based on marketing rather than benchmark performance and value.

 

That is a dam fine question mucgoo
