The i5-2500 PC I got from PCS 10 years ago is still trundling on but I felt it was time for an upgrade!!
Use is general office/home use and some light gaming on older titles (nothing recent) with a 1080p 60Hz monitor. I've got a 1050 ti card in my current PC which I'll put into the new one, and will be able to upgrade to a 580 in a year or two when son upgrades his PC (currently 3 years old), which will be more than enough graphics for me.
So would welcome thoughts on below spec, trying to keep the budget under £750
