It's saturday, you have nothing to do.. So how about you spec up the best £400 home PC you can, not including windows, a kb/m or monitor. Using integrated graphics and mATX, oh and also I have a HDD already but I want a 60 or 120GB ssd, so lets see what you can come up with!

For a cheap home PC you're most likely better off buying a prebuilt - I don't think you'd save money by doing it yourself.

Actually I think £400 is good enough to build a decent gaming PC.

I dont want to get a prebuilt because the only place I can get them without an Os and main HDD is custom built and they are more expensive so... thanks for all the help guys...

Well, a PC isn't too great without a processor.

I think the 2500k's integrated graphics chip is better than the low-end IB ones, though I'm not completely sure on that.

You could go with the 3570K I guess.

Though tbh if you're looking at integrated graphics performance, Intel is not the way to go.
