This okay?

[Cylinder]

The graphics card is integrated, but I don't want it for heavy gaming or anything.. just average computer use.

Is the processor okay? I can upgrade for £19 to a Intel Pentium Dual Core E2200.

Is the ram okay or would 4gb not be noticeable and I would be better of with 3gb?

The PSU i can upgrade to 500W for £10 or is 450 okay?

All together (including VAT and Delivery) it's £317.35.

Thanks.

4GB from 3GB is noticable, its when you have 8GB from 4GB that it isn't really.

The CPU isn't that great if im honest, I would stick to a 500w PSU for future upgrades.

[Cylinder]

Should I upgrade for £20 then? I don't want some big system, it's only for home use and general browsing internet, downloading etc.

Also, side note. How do I connect a monitor to a TV? Some sort of lead I need I take and were do I connect it (back of my TV > ?). Cos would I need a special graphics card or does it go from monitor?

Thanks

Yeh you should upgrade, its only £20 to upgrade.

Im not sure what lead you would need, what socket does your TV have? Also it would depend what your graphics card had on it, DVI or VGA

[Cylinder]

Oki, I'll upgrade it.

Ummm, the sources it has is:

TV
DTV
EXT-1
EXT-2
FAV
HDMI-1
HDM-2
YPbPr

Not sure what FAV is, YPbPr I use for my Xbox.

DTV is freeview and EXT is scart leads.

Could I connect it via hdmi? Or would I need a hdmi monitor?

Thanks.

You will need a HDMI - DVI (or VGAm depending on your graphics card) lead.

Im guessing you want to hook up 2 monitors to this computer, your TV and a monitor?

Yeah two monitors, I'm not that fussed if I can't do it but it would be nice.

[Recursion]

You can if you add a proper graphics card to it instead of the integrated graphics. You would then need, as said, a VGA or DVI to HDMI cable depending on the graphics card input. You plug the TV and the Monitor both into the graphics card then (graphics cards today have 2 ports)

[Cylinder]

Ah, okay. I'll consider doing that then, just nice to know.

The system I posted first with the different CPU and 500W PSU is okay then? For the price and everything or can you recommend something else.

Thanks.

Standard PSU sounds budget.

I'd suggest a quad or decent core 2 dual processor

ram is fine but you could get 800mhz or better

other than that its fine if you don't need gaming etc.
