Office PC

Case - Silverstone SST-SG02W-F
CPU - AMD A6 3500 FM1 Triple core 
Mainboard - MSI A55M-P3d
Memory - Corsair XMS3 DDR3 4GB
Hard Drive - 320GB WD Blue 

Power Supply - 480W Be Quite Straight Power 80 PLUS Gold


The overall price of this system is £360. Because this pc is designed for an office were there will be many of these running at one time for basic tasks like invoicing and emailing, one main concern was efficiency. For this reason a 80 PLUS Gold power supply was selected along with low power components to reduce the amount of power needed. This is vital for a business as it reduced the overheads. I choose not to include a disk drive to avoid employees loading their own software onto the network and from watching DVD's at work. The hard drive is only 320GB as the pc will be connected to a file server so a larger hard drive would be overkill. The CPU is actually an APU which is a combined CPU and GPU. It is more than enough for basic office tasks.
