My brother is wanting a desktop, he has 210 max but preferably 200 to spend.he has a case and psu . he said he will over clock.

I've put a build on PC part picker, would it be ok? I know there is no GPU but he says he can wait till September for one, do you think he will be ok on intergrated til then? He will be using it on a hd 1080p TV.

He is using it for web browsing and has a budgert in pounds

Thanks, will rep

What case & PSU does he have.

Make & model of the PSU would be nice too.

By the time you factor in shipping and whatnot, this will do fine. [Assuming the case & PSU is good]

You could spend the extra to make it look a bit better & get a atx motherboard but with that case, it looks bad enough

His current case is pretty poor and his budget is pretty tight. Since he's waiting until September to add a dedicated GPU, I'd get this;

Intel HD graphics will be more than adequate for web browsing and even light gaming.

Plus, the upgrade plans are better as you know.

Hm, depends. Web browsing, Intel hands down. Light gaming, fair enough, Intel probably. The APU will be better for gaming though and 8 months is quite a long time to use an Intel iGPU. I hated my PC when I had to use i5 iGPU and that was only for like a month. I was going to say "if it were me..." but tbh, if it were me, I'd just sit in the Z9 and cry.

Could it output to his tv? Its 32" HD ?

Yeah I have an i5 which could then be passed on when I upgrade ( assuming he still has it )

Thanks again
